WAPAC Links Missionaries for 2025
These are our assigned district Links missionaries from January 1 – December 31, 2025.
Links is a network of personal connections between missionaries and Nazarene districts around the world. Participating missionaries are assigned to each Nazarene district to help foster a personal connection between missionaries and the local church. Your prayers, letters, gifts, and connection to our Links missionaries will make a huge difference in encouraging them and the people they are reaching in the mission field!
Make sure connections go both ways. In addition to learning as much as possible about the missionaries and the fields they serve on, introduce them to your church. Share about your church, share prayer requests, and help the missionary feel connected to your local mission. Schedule video chats on occasion. Invite them to participate by video in your church’s events.
Please note that monetary gifts for Links missionaries are processed through their deputation accounts. Such gifts should be provided to Global Treasury Services, Church of the Nazarene, 17001 Prairie Star Parkway, Lenexa, KS 66220 (or submitted at https://www.nazarene.org/funding-the-mission). Funds should be clearly marked with the missionary’s full first and last name and “deputation account.”
