When the tornado hit the city of Joplin, Missouri, destroying 2,000 buildings, most of which were homes, survivors who had nothing were giving basic needs in Crisis Care Kits because of people like you. Those who found themselves instantly homeless were provided with the necessities of life through the giving of 480,689 Crisis Care Kits from 2000-2010, and are still providing for the basic needs of people in tragic situations all over the world. Before the next disaster hits---more Crisis Care Kits are needed! WE NEED YOU!!
You and your community of believers can create Kits so that people can care for themselves. Would you like to know what goes in a Crisis Care Kit? Click here>

CCKs continue to meet the needs around the world. The kits have gone to places like Belize, California, Donimican Republic, Greensburg, KS, Haiti, Jamaica, Jordon, Louisiana, Philippines, Senegal, Sri Lanka, Ukraine and Zambia. Your generosity makes an incredivle difference!
Each local church can join in by donating enough kits to fill at least one banana box, that's 6 CCKs. Small churches may combine efforts with others to fill banana boxes with CCKs.
There are not enough kits. When disasters occur around the world, Nazarene Compassionate Ministries Incorporated (NCMI) and Nazarene Missions International (NMI) must have kits available to send out immediately as the need arises. Please help make this possible!

SEND YOUR PASTOR TO JAMAICA
Our Central California District has been invited to join with the Burnt Savannah Church of the Nazarene in the upgrading of their Early Childhood Center during May 22-31, 2012. Your Missions Council has selected the restoration of the facility as a 2012 Work and Witness project, by sending a team of district Pastors, along with funds for materials.
The church is located in Westmoreland, Jamaica, also the home of Lionel and Jennifer Brown. Jennifer is our Global NMI President, and her husband is the pastor and Work and Witness director of their church. Pastor Lionel states that "the building is in bad condition and the church is raising funds so that we can partner with them to restore the building."
Please consider sending your pastor. Your church and our district will benefit greatly from having your pastor involved in such a mission which will also include evangelism to the historic city and reignite our CCD missions fire.
The cost is expected to be $1400.00, but rising gas prices may cause a slight increase. There are benefits to the churches that register early. Please register by sending $100.00 to:
Olivia Anderson 32011 Avenue 176 Springville, Ca. 93265-9681
VERY IMPORTANT!! At least $700.00 must be paid toward the trip by Feb 15th, 2012, when we will purchase the flight tickets. All deposit money will be available for refund until that date. The balance is due in full by April 15th, 2012.
