lead
pastor on the district should be notified by a phone call from the Global Ministry Center
letting them know that the kits will be coming.

Nazarene Missions
is
NOT
just another term for
Nazarene Mission International
.
These are two separate entities
.
Nazarene Missions
is the
General Board document/statement
similar to Nazarene Essentials thus, probably why the box is being sent to the churches as opposed to a specific person.
Nazarene Mission International
is the organization that is tasked to help church leadership educate and clearly articulate the Nazarene Mission to their congregations so please be on the look out for the box of resources being sent and distribute to all those in leadership who need to know.
Please mark your church calendars:
