Crisis Care Kits (CCKs)
Crisis Care Kits (CCKs) meet needs all across the USA and Canada and around the world. The kits have gone to places like Louisiana, Iowa, California, Kansas, and Indiana. Your generosity makes an incredible difference!
Each local church is challenged to donate enough kits to fill at least one banana box (six CCKs per banana box). Kits may be received year-round and people are encouraged to provide kits when disasters occur around the world so quantities will be sufficient.
Earthquake information and giving - www.ncm.org/haitiearthquake. This is our 60th anniversary year in Haiti. We have 120,000 who attend the Church of the Nazarene in Haiti.
A major earthquake hit Haiti Tuesday, January 12, 2010. Roughly a third of the population of the country has been affected, with extreme shortages in food, water, shelter, fuel, and medical care. Local Nazarenes are working to distribute food, water, tents, and provide medical attention. Checkout the videos, and information that is available.

The Nazarene Compassionate Ministries (NCM) Committee in Japan says, “The most important thing Nazarenes around the world can do right now is pray for the Church in Japan as they minister to those who are hurting.”
The following are ways to pray:
Pray that the Japanese people will continue in the mindset of sharing what they have rather than hoarding basic supplies.
Pray for Pastor Shoei Abe and the members of the Sendai Church of the Nazarene. The church has electricity and Internet and is being used as a location for relief work.
Pray for the NCM Committee in Japan, that God will direct and provide in their desire to create base camps where they can help people.
Pray for people who have family members that are still missing. May God’s peace and comfort be felt as they search and wait.
Pray that in God’s timing, Nazarene church facilities and school buildings that have been damaged will be repaired so ministry can continue safely.
Pray for those who have been affected by the earthquake, tsunami, and radiation leaks. The triple disasters have changed lives forever in a dramatic way. Although Christians represent only 2% of the population in Japan, pray that they will be the hands and feet of Jesus as they reach out to those who are suffering.
