Durban, South Africa
South Africa church strives to transform communityDurban, a South African city of more than three million people on the Indian Ocean coast, is Africa's largest and busiest port city. Durban has much to offer tourists, but is also home to problems like drugs, homelessness, addiction, joblessness, and hopelessness. Morningside Community Church of the Nazarene Pastor Gabriel Benjamin and his congregation have seen the destruction of these addictions and vices firsthand and feel that God is calling them to make a difference in their community. Benjamin and his team can be found going out into the streets and handing out items such as soap, razors, and deodorants to those living on the streets. After seeing some of the people in the same places repeatedly, the congregation started a Bible study that meets right on the streets of Durban. They are able to share the gospel and pray with the jobless, the homeless, and the addicted.
"Sometimes it is difficult to see any success in what we do," Benjamin said. "The nature of the homeless and addicts is rather transient."
The church has seen initial results and continues to plant seeds in the lives of those they encounter.
Congregation members are always looking for needs in their community and practical ways they can meet those needs. Last winter, an informal settlement of shacks caught on fire. The Morningside Community Church was there with blankets and a helping hand for those who lived there.Recently, the school that Benjamin attended as a child was designated as one of the poorest in the entire city. The church was able to donate new shoes to many of the children at that school.
Benjamin hopes to encourage other churches "to continue their witness to the broken, marginalised, and wounded."
"This is shared with the intention of encouraging mid-size and small church leaders and pastors to value their place in ministry," Benjamin said. "Jesus has invited you to be an extension of His voice and presence in and among the least of His children." [Church of the Nazarene Africa via Out of Africa]Read more

The right place: Ministering to Syrian-Armenian refugeesFor many Syrian-Armenians who have fled Syria during the past six years of civil war, finding refuge in Armenia is coming home — and not.Zareh Mangilikian knows what it’s like. A jeweler in Yerevan, Armenia, he is also a man who, together with his family, has allowed the Lord to prepare and guide him to exactly the right place. Among a people who are still struggling to come to terms with their refugee tragedy a century ago, Zareh is using the experiences God has given him to help refugees returning “home” in face of the current crisis to truly find a home.
The long way ‘home’
Zareh was born in Aleppo, Syria, to a family of Syrian-Armenians. It was Zareh’s grandfather who had come there as a refugee from West Armenia in 1915, fleeing the genocide that took his two brothers’ lives. The family attended an Armenian Evangelical Church in Aleppo, and thus Zareh grew up in a Christian environment, moving through Sunday school, teen club, and youth group. In 2000, he moved to Lebanon, where he was also involved in church ministry and eventually met his wife, Rita Lao, the daughter of a Taiwanese father and an Armenian-Lebanese mother.
Two children were born to the couple, a boy now aged 9 and a girl aged 6, and in 2012 the young family moved to Taiwan to explore the country and job opportunities there. But they soon discovered it was not the right place for them — so they settled in Armenia instead.[For the rest of the story, see Engage magazine.]Read more

The right place: Ministering to Syrian-Armenian refugeesBy Dorli Gschwandtner

The family attended an Armenian Evangelical Church in Aleppo, and thus Zareh grew up in a Christian environment, moving through Sunday school, teen club and youth group. In 2000, he moved to Lebanon, where he was also involved in church ministry and eventually met his wife, Rita Lao, the daughter of a Taiwanese father and an Armenian-Lebanese mother.
Two children were born to the couple, a boy now aged 9 and a girl aged 6, and in 2012 the young family moved to Taiwan to explore the country and job opportunities there. But they soon discovered it was not the right place for them – so they settled in Armenia instead.“My brother had long encouraged me to apply for Armenian citizenship, but before I thought I wouldn't need it,” Zareh remembers. “I finally applied for Armenian citizenship at the embassy in Lebanon just before we moved to Taiwan – I picked up the passport five days before we left. If I had not got my passport, I wouldn't have gone to Armenia, I would have gone back to Lebanon or even Syria. We believe it’s all God’s works – God took us and moved us to the right place.”
When the family arrived in Armenia, Nazarene friends in Lebanon helped them get in touch with the Nazarenes in Yerevan, led by Trino and Anna Jara. And while Zareh established a successful business as jewelry designer and manufacturer with his own workshop, and Rita took the position of assistant to the coordinator for Holistic Child Development on the Eurasia Region, the couple became increasingly involved in local Nazarene ministry. Rita is currently responsible for a group of more than 25 teenagers, and Zareh ministers as worship leader, helps with the youth group and preaches occasionally.
To be a refugee
During the past year, their ministry involvement has broadened to include the very ministry for which God seems to have placed them here – responding to the needs of refugees.The CIS Field, to which Armenia belongs, is not an area one would immediately associate with the response to the refugee crisis currently taking place in the Middle East and Europe. According to UNHCR Armenia, however, about 17,000 Syrians of Armenian origin have so far fled from the conflict and re-settled in Armenia. All of these are descendants of refugees who escaped the genocide in West Armenia in 1915. The Armenian government offers them citizenship if they can prove that they are of Armenian origin with a birth certificate or through their surname.
So, in a sense, Syrian-Armenian refugees are better off than many of the other refugees, since they have “another homeland” to go to and are given the same nationality status as other Armenians. But they still face similar struggles as refugees anywhere else. Many of the families left everything behind – their homes, their businesses, their futures. They have experienced years of violence, fear and death. Some have lost family members who were killed by radicals. Their children are now safe, but suffer from trauma and the consequences of their flight.
And even while most or all of these resettled families speak Armenian, they still must adjust to a very different culture and way of life in Yerevan. There are few job opportunities, and Armenia is not an affluent country. Like any people that have been uprooted from their homes, Syrian-Armenian refugees face an uncertain future and the overwhelming task of fully settling in a new home.‘We know their sorrows’
For over a year, Zareh and Rita have been building relationships with refugee families who have started to attend the Yerevan Nazarene gathering.
“We are very close with them now. We know their problems, sorrows; we understand them very well and what their needs are,” says Zareh. “What we ourselves learned in the past three years, we want other Syrians to learn. We want to help them to learn the rules and laws of Armenia. We are trying to help them find jobs or do a program with them [about] how to start a small business in Yerevan.”
In March 2016, Nazarenes launched their “Hand in Hand” ministry and are currently reaching out to approximately 30 Syrian-Armenian families. While some needs are met by other NGOs or the United Nations, many personal and daily needs remain untouched. Through the “Hand in Hand” project, Nazarenes want to walk “hand in hand” with families and offer a tailored approach that takes into account each family’s individual needs and struggles.
Supported through Nazarene Compassionate Ministries (NCM), the project includes home visits and support with food, rent, and winter clothing, skills training and small business development, a lot of advice and career support as well as psychological health. Last summer, 27 Syrian-Armenian children participated in a VBS especially designed for them, and Syrian children and teenagers also attended summer camps. In the fall, a knitting project for Syrian-Armenian and local Armenian women was started in order to facilitate integration through socializing.“We are helping Syrian-Armenian refugees to settle,” Zareh explained. “We don't want them to think about going to Europe, but instead encourage them to settle in Armenia. I personally see a lot of opportunity coming in a few years for Armenia. It’s growing, economically, though very slowly.”
Zareh and Rita have embraced the ministry for which God placed them right here in Yerevan, Armenia. And while Zareh continues to shape precious metals and stones in his workshop, and Rita continues to help children across the globe receive holistic assistance and development, the couple are investing their free time and energy into that which is far more precious than jewelry.

BGS invites churches to declare Jesus ‘Lord of All’ during upcoming Easter OfferingTo Nazarenes around the world:Easter reminds us of the new life we enjoy as Christ’s disciples and the future we anticipate as we anxiously await the eternal joy of living with Him forever. Jesus rose from the grave, and that changes everything. His resurrection validates our belief that Jesus is Lord of all!
Nazarenes around the world will celebrate the “Lord of All” in a few short weeks through the Easter Offering for the World Evangelism Fund (WEF). God has blessed the Church of the Nazarene for more than 100 years as we have shared the gospel globally. The impact has been incredible, but the potential for reaching more people with God’s message of love and transformation is greater than it has ever been.
God is providentially opening doors to reach those who have not yet heard, so we go. We live the message of Jesus Christ as we share the story that leads tens of thousands to accept Christ as Lord and Savior each year. We start new churches, offer Christ-centered education, give a voice to the voiceless, and rebuild homes, communities, and lives after natural disasters. We participate in this divine mission as we offer our resources to share in ministry.
The World Evangelism Fund offers a tangible way Nazarenes around the world can join in these ministries. The fund offers all of us a voice in declaring to our world “Jesus is Lord of all.” In the last 30 years, we have more than doubled the number of new Nazarenes who come to Christ annually, we have more than tripled our full membership, and the number of ordained ministers has nearly doubled. Even greater days of ministry lie ahead.
Romans 10:12 reminds us, “For there is no difference between Jew and Gentile—the same Lord is Lord of all and richly blesses all who call on him, for, ‘Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.’” These words challenge us as we continue to participate with God in His divine mission to share this good news with the world.
We call on you to pray and prepare for this Easter Offering emphasis. The offering will be received globally on 16 April 2017. This date may vary for some, depending on the calendar of each field or district. Resources are available at nazarene.org/generosity in English, Spanish, Portuguese, French, and Korean.

For youth in Manipur, 'everything we do must be based on prayer'Thangchinkhup Singson is the district Nazarene Youth International president for Manipur in the far northeast corner of India. He brings to his position a comprehensive vision that has changed the way youth ministry is done on his district. His goal is to assist the 20 Churches of the Nazarene in Manipur to strengthen their ministry to their 247 NYI members. He visits at least one pastor and his youth group each month to review their ministry and offer guidance and support.
On a recent visit, Singson leaned toward the pastor as they sat in the simple, one-room building that houses the pastor's congregation.
"You have 10 young people enrolled in NYI. Tell me about your ministry with them."
"Well, to be honest, it used to be that they only came for Sunday morning worship. My church offered them little else to do. Today that has changed. Thanks to you, I now realize that we must be concerned about all aspects of their lives."
"Yes," Thangchinkhup said. "Our youth deserve to have opportunities to grow and serve in many ways."
The pastor nodded in agreement. "Thank you for helping me see that."For the rest of the story, see Engage magazine. Read more

For youth in Manipur, 'everything we do must be based on prayer'By Richard Gammill
Thangchinkhup Singson leaned toward the pastor he had come to visit. They were seated in the simple, one-room building that houses the pastor's congregation."You have 10 young people enrolled in Nazarene Youth International (NYI). Tell me about your ministry with them."
"Well, to be honest, it used to be that they only came for Sunday morning worship. My church offered them little else to do. Today that has changed. Thanks to you, I now realize that we must be concerned about all aspects of their lives."
"Yes," Thangchinkhup said. "Our youth deserve to have opportunities to grow and serve in many ways."
The pastor nodded in agreement. "Thank you for helping me see that."
That evening, Thangchinkhup met with the 10 young people. They had just conducted an all-night service of prayer and were eager to talk with their district leader.
"We were on our knees for hours but the time passed so quickly. We talked with God about our friends who don't know Him and prayed for ways to share our faith. We prayed for our family members and about the needs in our community. We know God heard us and we are excited to see how He will answer our prayers."
Thangchinkhup is the district NYI president for Manipur, in the far northeast corner of India. He brings to his position a comprehensive vision which has changed the way youth ministry is done on his district. His goal is to assist the 20 Churches of the Nazarene in Manipur to strengthen their ministry to their 247 NYI members. He visits at least one pastor and his youth group each month to review their ministry and offer guidance and support.
This youth ministry is in addition to Thangchinkhup's role as project manager for the Child Development Center at the Bethlehem Church of the Nazarene. In that position, he directs the educational ministry to children in the community. His school goes to eighth standard and he is in the process of hiring teachers to start a second school. A graduate of South Asia Nazarene Bible College (SANBC) and Grace Bible College, he also teaches for SANBC with 15 students.Son of a pioneer evangelist, Thangchinkhup began his own ministry to children and youth in 1991. All the teachers in his schools today were his students. His personal experience tells him that the journey from student to teacher can take 20 years and require patience and diligent mentoring. Several Nazarene pastors today can testify to the results of his long-term influence in their lives. Early on, Thangchinkhup saw the promise now being fulfilled in their ministries. He understands that years of hands-on ministry experiences will develop godly leadership.
Unlike the major portion of India, where the Christian community is about 3 percent of the total population, the number of Christians in Manipur make up about 42 percent. In the hill districts where the Nazarene churches are located, the Christian population is even greater. Yet there remain multitudes to be brought to faith in Christ and young Christians to be nurtured in their faith.As Thangchinkhup talked with this NYI group, he reminded them of his priorities. "Everything we do must be based on prayer. That is why your night of prayer and the Saturdays of prayer and fasting are so important. From there we go on to develop leadership training, education programs, music groups, missions activities, sports and recreation, camping, farming, and children's ministries. God is leading us to do these things and we need His help and blessing."
The local groups are small, but Thangchinkhup has established a wide scope of programming and ministries that are available for local participation.
"Spiritual camping" takes small groups of youth on hikes into the mountains with an overnight stay in a local church, providing opportunities for leadership training and personal motivation. The annual youth camp features the ministries of prominent youth evangelists, challenging the youth to commit their lives to serving Jesus Christ.
Music ministries bring Nazarene youth together for choir and solo competitions. Choirs join their voices to sing "I have to praise the Lord," written by Thangchinkhup himself. They join with other churches to form a choir with as many as 1000 participants, singing in the Nationwide Gospel Music Festival.A larger world view is promoted by cooperating with the local and district Nazarene Missions International (NMI) and challenging youth to be available for missionary works. The district Work and Witness program conducts an annual "One Day for Christ" event which takes youth to the weaker churches for upbuilding.
Sports and recreational activities encourage the youth to be mindful of their physical fitness and give proper care to their growing bodies.
Youth seminars are conducted on the topic "Transformation by the way you think," conducted by Pastor Samuel Thangminlun.
A farming ministry encourages Nazarene youth to enhance their farming skills by participating in trainings conducted by several governmental agencies.Once a month, the youth leaders and members meet with their local church pastor to seek the guidance and leading of God in resolving issues, problems and blessings both within and outside the church. This is a precious time spent together praising, praying and proclaiming the gospel.
As Thangchinkhup concludes his time with this pastor and his NYI group, they bow together and thank God for a church that wants more than just to have a few young people attend Sunday morning worship, but walks alongside its youth, encouraging them to experience healthy growth in all dimensions of their lives.

Flags of the Nations: IsraelThe flag of Israel is white with two horizontal blue bands and a blue Star of David in the center. The colors blue and white were taken from the colors of the Jewish prayer shawl (tallit). The Star of David (Magen David) is a traditional symbol of the Jewish people.Since September 1, 2009, the Church of the Nazarene's Global Ministry Center (GMC) proudly flies a flag each week of one of the many nations in which the denomination is present in ministry. Leaders were invited to send a national flag to be flown at the GMC alongside the flag of the United States*. The national flags rotate weekly, and photos of them raised are sent to the church leaders of that country.
This week: Israel
The Church of the Nazarene officially entered Israel in 1921.
Israel had a population of 8,174,527 in 2016. That same year, Israel reported four Churches of the Nazarene, all of which had been officially organized. Israel has 256 total members.
Located on the Eurasia Region, Israel is a Phase 1 district. For more information about the Eurasia Region, visit eurasiaregion.org.
* = The weekly highlighted flag is raised on the middle of three poles in compliance with U.S. government protocols. It flies to the left of the GMC host-nation United States flag, which flies above the host-state flag of Kansas. The Christian flag flies on the third pole.

Students paired with senior adults in new, intergenerational emphasis
Wichita, Kansas
Nazarenes in the News(1 February) A new emphasis on connecting senior adults and teenagers has taken root at Wichita First Church of the Nazarene, and the result has been a church family strengthened by its intergenerational bond.The idea started when student ministries pastor Larry Page shared his testimony during a Sunday morning worship service. His story of a childhood without Christian influence until an older voice was introduced into Larry’s life made a big difference and eventually helped him discover his call to ministry.
Dr. Ed Nash was one of the senior adults who heard that testimony and considered the need to help students in similar situations. The senior adult council, which leads the FAB (Fifty And Better) group at the church, decided to take the initiative to invite the students to a Sunday evening dinner.
“For almost two years I have been praying about a way to connect the older and younger age groups,” Pastor Larry said. “They have always been incredibly supportive of the students in so many ways – but THIS is what I have been praying for. I am confident that there will be victories in the lives of our students because of their senior prayer warriors.”
