Faith Promise = Global Impact
Each year, we make a promise in faith to join in what God is doing around the world. It’s called Faith Promise.
Our goal?
Give away $200,000 locally and globally through impactful and compassionate ministries around the world.
See the pictures below for what you did last year!
CLEAN WATER IN AFRICA
Through Cleanwater5k.com, you built 31 wells bringing clean water to thousands in Malawi, Kenya, Cote d’ Ivoire, Zimbabwe and Democratic Republic of Congo, Africa where the average distance a person walks for dirty water is just over 3 miles.
SEWING HOPE PANAMA
Our Kids Experience offering and your Faith Promise funds launched a micro business called Sewing Hope in an impoverished and dangerous neighborhood in Panama City, Panama. Sewing Hope teaches job skills and a vocation for women otherwise stuck in the cycle of poverty and gender inequality. Women will gain dignity and independence to care for their children and themselves through Sewing Hope. This ministry is overseen by several local churches in Panama and Nazarene Compassionate Ministries.
HABITAT FOR HUMANITY
You paid for and framed a house for a single mom and her 3 kids in partnership with Wichita Habitat for Humanity. This is our seventh Habitat home in seven years.
STUDENT MINISTRIES MISSION TRIP
You supported our Middle School, High School and College age mission trip to Rochester, MN where they served and repaired the facility called The Wellhouse. The Nazarene Wellhouse helps families and individuals who are seeking treatment at the Mayo Clinic by providing low cost lodging close to the facility and a home-like atmosphere to give comfort. They also served in a couple local re-start churches who are living on mission in each of their settings.
CHILD DEVELOPMENT CENTER IN MALAWI, AFRICA
We are excited to fund a Child Development Center in Malawi, Africa. The local church has been operating this center without funding for a few years, but our help will enable them to feed the children multiple times per week, buy teaching materials, and support teachers with training and a stipend. One of our Clean Water wells is outside of this local church and Child Development Center. The well and the Child Development Center bring hope and life to this impoverished area.
LOCAL MISSIONS
Because of your support, we have been able to expand our our partnerships with 3 local ministries: Living Waters Food Pantry, Youth For Christ, and Linwood Elementary School.
JESUS FILM HARVEST PARTNERS
You co-sponsored a Jesus Film team in Malawi, Africa this year. Jesus Film Harvest Partners has over 900 teams at work throughout the globe, and our MALAWI team is one of them! Jesus Film teams travel village to village to give every person an opportunity to hear about Christ—even people who live in remote, oral, unreached, and unengaged communities and cultures. Most of the growth within our global church over the past twenty years has been as a result of this ministry.
GLOBAL MISSION TRIPS
Your Faith Promise gifts helped fund several projects in Belize and Honduras. In Belize our team worked on building a home for the pastor and also participated in several small group evangelistic classes with new believers. Our team in Honduras also worked on building a parsonage and engaged in evangelistic ministries. They delivered VBS supplies, prayed and visited with people during a neighborhood prayer walk, shared the gospel at a local school, and ministered to homeless children they encountered.
Our 2025 Global Mission trips will go to Malawi in July and Honduras in September. Contact Duane Freed for more information.
DOMESTIC MISSION TRIPS
Your Faith Promise gifts funded several projects on our mission trip to Cactus, Texas this summer. We worked on buildings on the Cactus Ministries campus, participated in a backpack giveaway to over needy 600 kids, and ministered to families in the area through a medical visits and VBS.
The 2025 Domestic Mission Trip will serve in El Paso, Texas in March. Contact Wayne & Jayme Minyard for more information.
WORLD EVANGELISM FUND
You supported a network of missionaries throughout the world through the global Church of the Nazarene who serve in 164 countries spreading the message of God’s love.
