We are grateful for those members of our district who have heard and answered God’s call to serve as missionaries. Some are currently serving as missionaries in the Church of the Nazarene, either as global or sponsored missionaries. Others are serving with other mission agencies. In addition to these, many others on the Indianapolis District serve in short-term missions as volunteers on Nazarene Missions Teams. Together, we are making Christlike disciples in the nations.

Missionary Sending Model
Nazarene Missions is woven into the fabric of our identity as a holiness people. Our churches foster the call o
f the Holy Spirit to missions through deputation services, shared stories of God’s movement, and special offerings.
Nazarene Missions partners with local churches and districts to nurture the call in our missionaries. The Missionary Sending Model allows our missionaries to see their service from the moment they receive the call to their return home.
The Missionary Sending Model spans all tenures, assignments, locations, and ministry types. Click here to learn more about Nazarene missionaries!
Global Missionary Christmas Fund
Each year we participate in the Global Missionary Christmas Fund which is received from all districts and distributed to all missionaries serving with the Church of the Nazarene. These funds are sent electronically by the local treasurer through www.fundingthemission.org. (10% Approved Special)
In addition, we also participate in a District Missionary Christmas Fund. Every local church is asked to send to the District NMI treasurer who distributes equitably to each of our district missionaries. Individuals are also invited to participate in this cash Christmas gift to our missionaries. (Non-10% Approved Special)
We request that these funds be remitted per instructions before August 30 to allow for processing.
