Giving to WEF.

Areas of Impact

The Process
We have many creative minds on our District—let’s do this!

Goal

To receive video entries from many of our 30,000 Nazarene churches around the world. Submitted videos will be used on social media to encourage creativity and participation in NMI. Winning videos from each region will be featured at the 2027 Global NMI Convention.

How to Enter

Submit a one-minute vertical video showing how your church creatively participated in ONE of the Five Areas of Impact; Keep the emphasis on strong VISUALS; Words can be present but they will not be translated for our global audience.
