Program Accomplishments [ Back to top ]
- India – Sent a 40-foot container of medical supplies to Reynolds Memorial Hospital in India. This was accomplished by partnering with MAP, International and We Are Family in Arizona. The hospital was established in 1936; today more than 12,000 patients are admitted each year.
- Nicaragua – Sent funds to drill a 400 foot well. The funds will also purchase the well casing, pump, motor, electrical installation, a tower, and a large metal tank on the tower for gravity to feed into the distribution system. The community dug the ditches for the PVC distribution pipe and paid for the pipe. The system will extend out as far as 500 meters from the well. The funds also will cover the cost of 36 cement pads and facets so that the people can set their containers on the pad to fill them. The well will assist a community of 10,000 people.
- Sent funds to open a pharmacy in the North District of Nicaragua which has an extensive health education program and a medical clinic. A licensed pharmacist will manage the project. The beneficiaries will be orphans, widows, and low-income families.
- Philippines – Sent funds as seed money to construct a Child Development Center and purchase equipment, supplies, and books for children in the town of Gen. Mariano Alvarez. The children will receive medical and dental check-ups, deworming medications, vitamin supplements, nutritious meals, and participate in after school programs.
- Vietnam – Sent funds to build a children’s home in Hoe Chi Min City. The home is a refuge for street children. Children who have left their homes to come to the capital city to seek their fortune can drop in for a safe place to sleep. Some have gone back home when given some assistance. Destitute street children are provided food, a bath, and a safe place to sleep. Some children stay a few days, others have stayed for years.
- Project HOPE – In Ohio, they are producing a video for an outreach program for women coming out of prison in the Columbus, Ohio area. In Mississippi, they are assisting a local congregation that adopted seven men who were found homeless and socially abandoned. The men were provided food and clothing, and were placed in vocational training programs. And in New Mexico, they helped the Nazarene Indian Bible College with unexpected expenses.
- Nazarene Disaster Response (NDR) – In California, NDR worked extensively in victim support in four major areas in the California fires and earthquake. Support was also given during the Northern California oil pipe disaster. Support for flood victims was offered in Texas, Kentucky, Kansas, and Ohio. And hurricane support was given in Florida, North Carolina, and Alabama.
- Nazarene Health Care Ministries (NHCM) – Medical teams were sent to Nicaragua, Mexico, and the Ukraine.
Statement of Faith [ Back to top ]
The agreed statement of belief within the Nazarene church is as follows:
Recognizing that the right and privilege of persons to church membership rest upon the fact of their being regenerate, we would require only such avowals of belief as are essential to Christian experience. We, therefore, deem belief in the following brief statements to be sufficient.
We believe:
In one God - the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
That the Old and New Testament Scriptures, given by plenary inspiration, contain all truth necessary to faith and Christian living.
That man is born with a fallen nature, and is, therefore, inclined to evil, and that continually.
That the finally impenitent are hopelessly and eternally lost.
That the atonement through Jesus Christ is for the whole human race; and that whosoever repents and believes on the Lord Jesus Christ is justified and regenerated and saved from the dominion of sin.
That believers are to be sanctified wholly, subsequent to regeneration, through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.
That the Holy Spirit bears witness to the new birth, and also to the entire sanctification of believers.
That our Lord will return, the dead will be raised, and the final judgment will take place.
