Nazarene Missions International
College Church of the Nazarene is in line with the denomination's heart for worldwide missions work. As a part of this effort, CCN leads multiple Work & Witness efforts, including trips for adults, for preteens, for teenagers, as well as intergenerational mission efforts.
If you are interested in participating in the mission work of CCN either locally or abroad, please contact Pastor Dave at pastordfraley@gmail.com, who will put you in contact with the proper channels on our NMI Council.
Welcome to the new monthly missions prayer calendar for NCC. Each month we will offer prayer requests for each day in four missions foci:
1) Local ministries NCC supports;
2) Prayer support for our church staff;
3) Nazarene missions international;
4) Southeast Asia (SEA) partners.
Do you want to change the world? Pray!
See the calendar below for the daily prayer focus! Thank you for faithfully praying for these prayer requests and praises!

Give them your peace, we pray in the matchless name of Jesus. Amen.
If you ask me anything in my name, I will do it. John 14:14
South East Asia Field Partnership (SEA):
We, as your NMI Council, with the approval of your church board, have entered into a new partnership with The SEA Field. This partnership is for a period of 5 years and will include many levels of participation: prayer, mission education, Work and Witness, financial support, and sharing in congregational and personal ways. Every person in our church body will have the possibility to be linked to the SEA Field through ministry opportunities. This field is one of the fastest growing areas of our International Church, reaching many people who have never heard the name of Jesus. Churches are being planted, leaders trained, physical needs are met through Compassionate Ministries, and the Gospel is going into places that have never heard God’s message of love. You will soon hear of the ways you can begin to build ties with the people of Myanmar, Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, and Viet Nam. Another exciting aspect of this work is that we will be joining with Nampa First Church as a ministry partner.
