You Don't Have to Leave Home to Make a Difference

You don't have to journey half way around the world to make a difference in the world. God doesn't call everyone to serve in far-away places, but He does call every one of us to serve.

Nazareth offers many opportunities for you to serve others. Some of these ways are humble and very simple: giving a bar of soap, contributing a yard of fabric, buying a bag of coffee. But this is how the world is changed: one gift of love at a time. The world is waiting for your gift.

At Nazareth, we celebrate our missionaries, but we do not publish their names, locations, or email addresses on our website out of concern for their safety.
