Local Ministry Ø Bob Prescott, President & CEO of Nazarene Compassionate Ministries, shared an update on the NCM relief efforts in the Gulf States with the North Seattle Nazarene Church on October 16, 2005. Mr. Prescott said that 2.2 million dollars has been donated by the NCM. A group of Nazarene volunteers from the Wa-Pac District will be going to Louisiana for two weeks in November to help with some of the churches that have been damaged. Volunteers are needed - contact George Sisler @ 1heartmanyhands@msn.com Ø Aurora Church of the Nazarene will be sending 24 adults to Corozal, Belize on a Work & Witness trip in April, 2006. The team will be working on construction projects, conducting VBS programs, doing outreach ministry, and encouraging our brothers and sisters in the Lord in Belize. Ø Reaching a person for Christ is not just a job for pastors, missionaries, and fulltime Christian workers. God planned for all of His people to be the visible expression of what "true love" is in Jesus Christ. Campus Crusade for Christ sponsors a local ministry of friendship and conversation with international students called Talk Time. Christian volunteers work at building bridges of friendship through an hour of conversations each week, times to play sports or table games, and so many opportunities to share the "true love" of Jesus in non-confrontational ways. For more information contact: Cindy Whiteman @206-542-1622 or John Whitehouse @ 425-268-8786 Ø Rev. Bob Huffaker, a Nazarene motivational speaker/pastor, shared two inspirational messages with our congregation on November 6, 2005. Hearts were challenged with the question: "Do the lost people of Seattle matter to you?" The Spirit of the Lord was evident in the services. Ø The Seattle Union Gospel Mission is asking for help from churches in the Seattle area. For a year, Pastor Herb Pfiffner has heped feed, clothe, and house the poor and homeless. He has asked our church to partner together to make a difference in the lives of hurting people in our own community. Please consider making a donation toward feeding hungry people this holiday season at www.ugmorg. |
