OBJECTIVES:

• To encourage people to pray for all efforts of world evangelization
• To inform people of the world’s needs and what the church is doing to meet those needs
• To challenge children and youth to learn about and participate in the mission of the church
• To raise funds for missions outreach

Nazarene Missions International focuses on five strategic areas where the local church can have maximum impact on missions in the Church of the Nazarene:

1. The first is prayer . NMI gathers believers together for prayer in the local church, linking us to our brothers and sisters in Christ across the globe. 
2. The second is the World Evangelism Fund , which fuels the Church of the Nazarene’s mission by combining gifts from each person and church to fund ministries everywhere. 
3. Through the Alabaster Offering , the third emphasis, ministries around the world receive funds to purchase property and buildings.
4. The fourth is to  engage children and youth through education and fostering calls to missions.
5. Links , the last area of emphasis, strategically connects Nazarene missionaries and Nazarene churches through prayer, personal contact, and generous giving.
