MISSION EDUCATION/ WAYS TO USE NMI CENTRAL TO BE ADDRESSED  AT AN NMI WORKSHOP AT DISTRICT NMI CONVENTION
Watch for time and location in upcoming District NMI Newsletters

 

Mission Education Materials          Attachment: Order Blank
As you can see, from the attached order blank, there are no adult missionary education materials  available for order.  Our world is changing so rapidly that materials can be out of date by the time they published.     

Mission Education materials have been replaced by NMI Central, a free weekly email publication focusing on the work of the Church of the Nazarene. Every week, prayer needs and praise reports will be listed, as well as ways you can get involved. This  challenging change can  be an opportunity for NMI presidents to reach more of our people.  NMI Central can be used as a tool to help our people learn about and pray together  for a different mission area each week, whether they are gathered in person or praying individually.
When you subscribe, a weekly email will come to your inbox each Wednesday.  To subscribe, click here:

You will want to see & share today’s NMI Central at 

https://mail.yahoo.com/d/folders/1/messages/230062

It features Cabo Verde, the home of Dr. Eugenio Duarte, who will be our presiding general superintendent at our District Assembly this year!

See the archive of all NMI Central publications here.  Choose the English folder;  all publications, except last week’s entry, Muldova, are there.  I assume that will be added ASAP.  

 Missionary Reading Books
In lieu of missionary reading books, three books are available for purchase: “Almost,” by Dr. Gustavo Crocker, “Color,” by Dr. Carla Sunberg, and
“Way, Truth, Live,” by Dr. David Busic.  A children’s reading book set is available for purchase. The 2022 version of children’s study material is also available for purchase. 

 

NMI REPORTS:  CCK Reporting Different than in the Past, due to Mid-year Collection for War Victims in Ukraine
When reporting Crisis Care Kits on missionary president’s report, please:
    Put number of boxes sent to Ukraine in April, and add “U” beside number  and/or
    Put number of boxes you anticipate bringing to District NMI Convention in Cleveland, and add “C” for Cleveland
While you are more than welcome to bring CCKs to Cleveland, even if you’ve already sent them to Ukraine, but your are not expected to do so.
Many of our churches were not able to get boxes together on short notice for Ukraine in April, & have asked that they can bring to Cleveland
    The “U” for Ukraine & “C” for Cleveland designation or report will give us some idea of what to plan on at district convention. 
CRISIS CARED KITS BROUGHT TO DISTRICT NMI CONVENTION WILL BE STORED ON THE THE DISTRICT, TO BE AVAILABLE FOR  DISASTERS SUCH AS TORNADOS or FLOODS ON THE SE REGION.  THESE ARE FREQUENTLY NEEDED!
