The LINKS program of the Church of the Nazarene is a network of personal connections between missionaries and Nazarenes around the world. Missionaries are assigned to districts and, then on the district level, connected to local churches. This gives each church an opportunity to become personally acquainted with the missionary family and their field of service. Typically, churches send cards, cash gifts, packages, and other remembrances to their LINKS missionaries.
In return, the churches feel a sense of involvement with the global mission enterprise of the church through regular correspondence from the missionaries, updates from their field, and even through deputation services while the missionaries are on home assignment. The missionaries are encouraged, knowing people care and pray for them. The relationships built over time personalize names and faces that both the missionaries and their LINKS churches value highly.

We will continue our partnership with Tanzania North West District to assist in construction of the District Training Center. This Center is imperative to host events and training in this area of Africa. Our service could include concrete work, stucco, painting of concrete construction, and crafts, games and interaction with local children.
Our team will be limited to 14 members. This type of project requires those who can embrace new experiences and can accept long distance travel is challenging. Teamwork and concern for others is a must.
This will be an amazing experience and interest is high. Please do not delay in submitting your application. We will start a waiting list if we exceed our max for those still interested to join. We anticipate some movement on our list as team members work thru the process.
