Nazarene Compassionate Ministries

Following the example of Jesus, NCM partners with local Nazarene congregations around the world to clothe, shelter, feed, heal, educate, and live in solidarity with those who suffer under oppression, injustice, violence, poverty, hunger, and disease. NCM exists in and through the Church to proclaim the Gospel to all people.

NMI has come alongside NCM in leading the Nazarene church in living out compassion. The Nazarene Compassionate Ministries coordinator on the district NMI and/or local NMI council offers encouragement of Nazarene Compassionate Ministries worldwide through prayer support, giving, education, and hands-on opportunities.

December is Compassionate Ministries Emphasis month in the Church of the Nazarene. The Board of General Superintendents designated December to encourage a spirit of compassion and personal involvement among Nazarenes everywhere. NCM’s prayer is that social holiness would erupt in every local church and that we could come alongside faithful members and resource them to serve.

Just as the earliest Christians
“pooled their resources so that
each person's need was met,”
(Acts 2:45, The Message)
believers today eagerly share
what they have to bring
new members
into God’s family.

Child Sponsorship
NCM Child Sponsorship exists to advocate for children who are destitute. Following the instruction of Jesus, NCM partners with local Nazarene congregations around the world to clothe, shelter, feed, heal, educate, and live in solidarity with those who suffer under oppression, injustice, violence, poverty, hunger, and disease.

Responding to this call, Nazarene Child Sponsorship is a ministry that engages the church to:
  • Provide a tangible expression of the Jesus Christ’s love
  • Facilitate a personal relationship between sponsors and children
  • Equip children to use their God-given gifts within their families and communities while embracing Christ’s mandate to live a life of love and compassion

COST: Just $25 a month

Who is a child sponsor?
Individuals, families, groups, or congregations who commit to provide monthly support for a child enrolled in an NCM supported project.

School Pal-Paks

The Church of the Nazarene operates numerous primary schools around the world, providing quality education for children. Unfortunately, children around the world often do not have the supplies needed for school. In countries with economic challenges, families cannot afford to purchase supplies, or siblings are often required to share the supplies. In response to the need, Nazarene Missions International partnered with Nazarene Compassionate Ministries, Inc. (NCM, Inc.) to provide School Pal-Paks.
 Can youth and children participate?

 Since children and youth identify with the need for school supplies, School Pal-Paks is a great way to involve children and youth in missions. Of course, adults can participate in Pal-Paks, too!
