Nazarene Missions
As a member of the church of the Nazarene we are passionate about making a difference in the world by taking the good news of Jesus Christ to people everywhere. Today there are 724 missionaries and volunteers serving in 156 world areas. What's even more interesting is that these missionaries themselves come from 36 different countries. Together, Nazarenes worship in more than 212 languages or tribal languages, with literature produced in 90 of these. The church operates 60 medical clinics and hospitals worldwide and thousands of compassionate ministry centres. This missionary enterprise is made possible by the contributions of the global Nazarene family. Nazarenes also engage in starting new churches and congregations by praying, giving, and supporting worldwide volunteers and contracted missionaries.

Compassionate Resource Warehouse
The Compassionate Resource Warehouse (CRW) in Victoria, B.C. recently celebrated the loading of their 300th container.
Dr. Clair MacMillan, National Director, Church of the Nazarene Canada wrote to the Director of the CRW: Dear Dell, It has come to my attention that you and your staff of wonderful people are currently loading your 300th Compassionate Warehouse container. According to my calculations that represents more than 6,500,000 pounds of goods, packed into 900,000 cubic feet of space and worth untold millions of dollars. Only Heaven will see the eternal impact your work has had on the lives of the countless lives that have been changed by your efforts. On behalf of the Church of the Nazarene Canada and all Nazarenes worldwide I congratulate you and all your people: those who have loaded the containers, those who have provided funds for the shipping and the people and organizations that provided the goods. Thank you for a job well done that is continuing even as I write! Here are excerpts from Dell Marie’s response: I will pass along your message to all our volunteers. We are excited but a little surprised at how quickly this is occurring. Never in my wildest dreams, did I ever conceive of this milestone. We only started out to send one, then two, then a few more…..and now 300 have been sent! We are so grateful to the Lord for providing supplies, space, finances and many willing hands and committed hearts. Without these amazing volunteers, we would not be celebrating this milestone this week. Thank you to the Church of the Nazarene Canada and to NCM Canada for their continued support and prayers. Together we will look forward to hearing stories in heaven on how the Lord used “the simple and the common” to spread His love and grace around the world. The 300th container was sent to Guatemala and contains: supplies and equipment for a clinic and a daycare, educational supplies, tools for a carpentry training workshop, bikes, furnishing and supplies for a Work & Witness home (including electrical and plumbing supplies) and a rural church, sewing machines and supplies to set up a training centre, computers for a training centre, playground equipment, household linens, clothing, shoes and toys.
