November is the Thanksgiving Offering
The Church of the Nazarene Thanksgiving offering is an annual collection of money that
supports the denominations global mission work through the World Evangelism Fund.
(WEF) This fund provides resources for missionary support, church planting, and other
ministries in many world areas, helping to spread the gospel and support local
communities.
The offering is a long-standing tradition, with funds used for a wide range of activities
including missionary salaries, medical care, and Christian literature.
* PURPOSE: The offering directly supports the World Evangelism Fund (WEF), which is
the primary source of funding for Nazarene missions around the world.
* FUNDED MINISTRIES: The WEF enables various ministries, building new churches
and ministry outposts, providing Christian literature, and funding regional and partner
ministries.
* MISSIONARY SUPPORT: A portion of the funds goes toward missionary salaries
and medical care and supporting The Establishment and maintenance of new missionary endeavors.
* GLOBAL REACH: The offering is collected globally and helps the Church of the
Nazarene to continue its mission of ” Making Christ-like Disciples in the Nations “.
* TIMING: The offering is traditionally collected in November, though it is also
promoted through the Easter offering.
