The Church of the Nazarene's Global Missions office was pleased to announce the following retiring missionaries during a Recognition Service in the final meeting of the 95th Session of the General Board 23 February in Kansas City, Missouri.

The missionaries were presented with a sculpture as a token of thanks. Global Missions, under the direction of Verne Ward III, would like to express its deep love and appreciation to all six couples for their many years of selfless dedication to God, the church, and all of those whose lives have been impacted by their ministry. As individuals, they have given more than 300 combined years of service to God through the Church of the Nazarene.
