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 $215,000 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 51 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

We’ve partnered with our local Habitat for Humanity since 2018 to help build homes and hope for several families in our community. Through the years, we’ve framed multiple homes and have also helped refurbish a block of abandoned homes into brand new Habitat homes and a revitalized neighborhood.

STUDENT MINISTRIES MISSION TRIP

You supported our Middle School, High School and College age mission trip to Cactus, TX where they served and repaired the Cactus Nazarene Mission Center. The CNMC helps families and individuals who are seeking asylum and refugees status working towards becoming naturalized citizens as well as providing essential and basic skills coming from many third-world countries as well as learning English as part of the process.

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/CONNECTION TRIPS

Your Faith Promise gifts helped fund several projects in Malawi and Guatemala. In Malawi, our team visited numerous clean water well sites and meet with villagers impacted by the wells. The team also visited our CDC in Malawi and invested project funds to rebuild the crumbling walls of the center. Our team in Guatemala helped build a church.

Our 2026 Global Mission trips will go to Ecuador and Guatemala. Contact Dan Loon for more information.

DOMESTIC MISSION TRIPS

Your Faith Promise gifts funded several projects on our mission trip to the Border Initiative in El Paso, Texas this summer.

The 2026 domestic mission trip will serve in Clearwater, Florida, where we’ll help build dorms for missionary training and other mission teams. 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.
