Alabaster Offering
ALABASTER, WHAT IS IT?
People around the world are coming to know Christ through the ministry of Nazarene missions. The funds received through the 2010 Alabaster offerings on September 26 and February 27 are making a significant impact on the success of our missionary efforts. Let's all do what we can to provide these needed buildings in which others can live, worship and teach.
The Alabaster Offering provides funds for property and buildings around the world. It gives a sense of permanence, the attitude that the Church of the Nazarene intends to put down roots. Eighty percent of the money is used in world mission areas, and twenty percent goes to multicultural congregations in the United States and Canada. Alabaster funds help provide land for most Work & Witness projects. The entire offering goes toward the construction of churches, schools, medical facilities, and homes for missionaries and national workers.
The Alabaster Offering gets to the mission field via several avenues. The most widely used is the Alabaster Box. Individuals are challenged to regularly contribute the cost of items they desire but do not need. The boxes also serve as reminders to pray for those people who will benefit from Alabaster buildings.
