December is Compassionate Ministries Month! Around

the world, Nazarene churches will take one Sunday
this month to celebrate and learn about the ways the
local church is taking action through compassionate
ministries.
To get some free resources for your Sunday service,
including prayer videos, talking points, and the
"Living In The Margins" video, visit ncm.org/
compassion.
As I reflect on 2016, I want to say a big THANK
YOU to all of you who have worked within NMI
during the past year. Much has been achieved
due to your work. Lives have been transformed.
Circumstances have been changed. Peoples
lives will be very different this Christmas
because of you.
