Nazarene churches participate in Global Outreach Day

Millions of Christians around the world will mobilize on Global Outreach Day, May 30, to reach the people of their communities with the Word of God. 

Through the day, organizers hope that every Christian will become a witness and reach someone else for Christ. During last year's G.O.D., more than 38 million tracts were distributed and hundreds of thousands accepted Christ in their lives.

ENC students hope to help hungry elementary schoolers
Quincy, Massachussetts

(Patriot Ledger, March 26) Students at Eastern Nazarene College are organizing a "buddy bag" program to help address the problem of childhood hunger. And they're starting with elementary school children in Quincy. 

Eastern Nazarene sophomore Nathaniel Nutter said being hungry "can be stressful" for children, and the Eastern Nazarene students are "raising awareness of what's going on."

Nutter said the class plans to fill the bags with fruit and other food items.

"We don't have the bags yet. It's a semester-long (project). If all goes well, the delivery will be in early April."

The bags — perhaps 350 of them — are destined to go to Quincy's Snug Harbor Elementary School.
