Supporting Mission Specials

Clearly, there is a need to be able to raise mission funds in the local church without experiencing an increase in budgets. By choosing to make an exception for funds given to missions, our churches can – and should – support the Mission Specials of their choice, without raising allocations.

The following exclusions will be honored in AY10-11:

• Offerings that specifically raise funds for mission as related to the World Evangelism Fund (e.g. Easter offering, Faith Promise, and Thanksgiving offering), the funds must be submitted in the AY to qualify to the exception
• Ten Percent Mission Specials: mission offerings contributed to specific needs, connecting donors (churches, groups, or individuals) and ministry
• Specific approved Mission Specials include those for:
  • Global Missions - Regions
  • Nazarene Compassionate Ministries
  • WM Broadcast
  • Nazarene Youth International
  • Jesus Film Harvest Partners
