Church planting is an increasingly urgent focus in districts throughout the Northern Europe and Central Europe fields. During his district assembly tour this spring, Jerry Porter, the general superintendent in jurisdiction over the Eurasia Region, urged leaders to pray about where God might be leading them to plant new works.
In the British Isles South, District Superintendent David Montgomery says the district is looking at proposals for at least two new works. In the Netherlands, a local Nazarene church has outgrown its building and is praying and fasting this month about whether God wants them to plant a new church in their neighborhood. Plans are also underway in Hungary and the British Isles North District for strategically initiating new fellowships to reach unchurched people.
Nathanja Klauser and her fellow Easter Camp directors have participated in the Germany District’s annual children and youth camps since they were kids. Now, as the new leaders of the week-long spiritual event, they hoped they weren’t too young -- all are in their 20s -- or inexperienced to manage this important shaping and influencing time for the district’s youth.
From 09 April to 27 May, 2012, Nazarenes across the Eurasia Region will unite in a single focus to celebrate a journey from “Easter to Pentecost.” Through the six-week devotional guide, “Resurrection Power,” every believer connected to the Church of the Nazarene in Eurasia has the opportunity to encounter and dwell in the power of the Holy Spirit that Paul describes.
A group of 35 Nazarene Missions International (NMI) leaders from the U.S., Canada and Trinidad and Tobago recently traveled to Sri Lanka and India to pray and partner with local Nazarenes. One stop on the tour was to attend a JESUS film showing on a tea estate in Sri Lanka.
