               Special Prayer Emphasis — Nazarene World Week of Prayer

Nazarene World Week of Prayer
Sunday, February 28 - Saturday, March 6, 2010

The Nazarene World Week of Prayer is an annual event occurring during the week that includes the World Day of Prayer (the first Friday in March). During this week Nazarenes dedicate themselves to interceding for our church and our world. Special requests are provided for a regional prayer plan.

Coordinating with the interdenominational World Day of Prayer (Friday, March 5), the Nazarene World Week of Prayer is envisioned that this event will re-ignite prayer flames, deepen commitment to prayer and fasting, and precipitate revival.

Specific prayer requests for each region are featured on the Prayer Mobilization Line during the Nazarene World Week of Prayer.

Easter Offering for World Evangelism

Gifts made to World Evangelism Fund paved the way for members of the JESUS Film team to invite Gama, a prostitute in Malawi, to a showing in her village. She was moved by the image of the empty tomb, and a few nights later she returned with her entire family. She is now an active disciple of Jesus. Join Gama in her story and help others like her by giving to the World Evangelism Fund this Easter. This fund is the financial foundation for schools, hospitals and other ministries located in 155 world areas. There is no better time to start than now.

Work & Witness

Over 150,000 people have been mobilized through Work & Witness since its beginning in 1974.  Resulting in more than 5000 years of donated labor worldwide, Work & Witness teams go to every region of the world and partner with local churches in construction projects, technical needs, evangelism and compassionate ministries.  Come be a part of something significant!

"Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up." Galatians 6:9

Work and Witness is an important ministry opportunity that is generously and enthusiastically supported by the Penticton Church of the Nazarene.  We have sent teams to South America, Cuba, the Ukraine and most recently to Ethiopia in January/February of 2009.  Click on the image below to go to the Work and Witness site to see how you can become involved.
