Ways to Celebrate WEF Overpayments

The generous giving of Nazarene churches is often reflected in their giving to the World Evangelism Fund (WEF). This year we celebrate this generosity with the churches and districts that achieved well over 100 percent of their giving to WEF.
 
District Presidents, look over the updated WEF 100 percent list in the downloadable resources section of HeartLine. The districts marked in blue are the ones that have been added since last month’s list published in HeartLine. Identify the churches on your district that gave more than 100 percent and find ways to thank them. You could:
 

1. Write a thank you note to the pastor and NMI president and include a story, such as the one entitled “Gripping Conviction and Connection” found in this edition of HeartLine. Remind them that it is their church’s giving to WEF that allows missionaries, national leaders, and workers to be the hands and feet of Jesus in hostile areas such as that of the pastor who refused to throw his Bible down. The work of the church is often used by God to give strength, support, and courage to Christians who face adversity because of what they believe.
2. Suggest to local presidents of 100 percent churches that they purchase noisemakers, party hats, streamers, etc., and celebrate the church’s achievement.
3. Another option is to purchase a sheet cake and have a cake and coffee celebration following a church service.

 
The ideas of how you can celebrate churches’ or districts’ 100 percent WEF achievement are endless. Let NMI know how you have celebrated and what those churches did to achieve 100 percent, and we will share the idea in upcoming issues of HeartLine.
