From the beginning, Nazarene Missions International (NMI) has been praying for the work of the global church. As a global denomination that ministers in 165 world areas, we strive to be connected and lift each other up in prayer.

This desire is not unique to the Church of the Nazarene. A heart for missions and the work of God’s Kingdom here on earth has always been the heartbeat of the church. Beginning in 1887, there was a call to prayer for missions that has grown into the World Day of Prayer. This movement is global and stretches across denominations. The World Day of Prayer falls on the first Friday of March every year.

In 1996, NMI joined this movement by observing a week of prayer that incorporates the World Day of Prayer in its schedule. We focus on uniting Nazarenes around the world to pray for the lost, joining God in His mission of grace and love to all.

Today marks the first day of this week of prayer. Pray to raise up a new generation of missionaries and missions-minded leaders for our denomination.

Also, pray that the Lord would continue to guide us amidst the complexities faced globally, and that Nazarenes will unite in His mission to the world.
