World Evangelical Fellowship, who started IDOP).
Nazarene Missions International (NMI) encourages Nazarenes to join Christians around the world in
prayer on November 10, 2013. The International Day of Prayer for the Persecuted Church (IDOP) provides opportunity for Christians worldwide to focus on those suffering for their Christian faith.

Thank you... Crisis Care Kits
Thank you!
Edie Baker reports: “We did the delivery of our Crisis Care Kits and School Pal Paks last Saturday. The
SWO District had a full trailer load and a nice increase from last year. This year we had 144 Crisis Care
Kits Boxes (6 in a box) and 38 School Pal Paks (10 in a box) – a total of 182 boxes! Last year we had 142
boxes. It seemed like we had a really nice representation of our churches participating.” Thank you!
