So, catching up . . . here's September. An abbreviated version was also published in the Nazarene Communications Network Newsletter. You can find it by clicking here.

By now, we hope you’ve heard about Cactus Nazarene Ministry
Center (CNMC)! CNMC is a new compassionate ministries site located here on the
West Texas District in the diverse Panhandle town of Cactus. CNMC seeks to
serve the 17+ nationalities in Cactus and surrounding areas (primarily
immigrants and refugees from Central America, Africa, and Myanmar) through ESL
classes, legal assistance, health clinics, sports ministries, after-school
programming, family services, and more! CNMC will also host Cactus Iglesia del
Nazareno, and hopefully several other congregations in the near future.
We envision that CNMC will be a Christ-centered community
center offering the message of hope in Christ through services that empower
people to live successful lives and to reach their full potential. We realize,
though, that this will take a lot of time and work. We are finally onsite and
are truly enjoying getting to know our new town. God is already opening doors
that we never thought of! This week, we will meet with the program
administrator of the Moore County YMCA as they’ve offered to partner with us
through the Cactus YMCA.
Our biggest need right now is Work and Witness teams to get
the work in Cactus started. This past week, the first load of fill dirt for the
building was delivered and compacted. We have several projects that we can use
your help on—construction, campus and city beautification, sports camps,
Vacation Bible School, and more! Please contact us at workandwitness@cactusministries.org
for more information about bringing a team.
We’d love to visit your congregation to share more about
what God is doing in Cactus, and about His vision for CNMC. We can share in Sunday School classes, as a "commercial"
during the worship service, preach the sermon, or do a faith-promise type of
service/weekend. We're trying to book our fall calendar now, so please let us
know if you'd like us to visit your church!
God is already doing amazing things in Cactus! Thank you for
your prayers and support.
“The
King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of
these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me’” (Matthew 25:40).
