Tips for succeeding in regular Bible reading:
*Set a time and place where you will do your reading.
*Place your Bible some place visible as a reminder. For example, if you are
going to read in the morning, put it in front of your coffee pot. Or if you are a
night reader, place it on your pillow in the morning, so it is waiting for you
when you go to bed.
*Track your progress by marking off readings as you complete them on the
chart provided.
*Make no exceptions! Vow to do it no matter what.
*If you blow the last tip, then just start over from where you left off. Don’t
worry about what you missed. Pick it up on a light day or on a Sunday. Most
people allow catching up to be an obstacle to just getting back on track.

What is World
Evangelism Fund (WEF)?
The World Evangelism
Fund fuels the Church of
the Nazarene’s global
mission. Because we
can do more working
together than we can
alone, every church
shares a small portion of
income for the purpose
of making Christlike
disciples in the nations.

Praise: Largest Nazarene church in Haiti dedicated after
years of saving and struggling. About 100 miles north
of Port-au-Prince, more than 3,500 people attended the
January 27 dedication service for the largest Nazarene
church in Haiti.
General Superintendent Jesse C. Middendorf called the
newly completed Gros-Morne Church of the Nazarene
“one of the most beautiful churches in the world.”
The 1,000-member congregation began saving money
in 1991 to build the largest structure in the city, which
has a population of more than a quarter million.
Construction began in 2003 but was stopped in 2006
after two hurricanes, a flood, a marketplace fire, and
the January 2010 earthquake — which destroyed the
roof of the Nazarene school where 800 students
attended. Continue to pray for the rebuilding in Haiti.

Country: Bulgaria
Eurasia Region and Central Europe Field
Bulgaria is a country of contrast. Soviet block
apartments, a reminder of a generation that grew up
during the “Cold War” stand juxtaposed against
remnants of ancient Greek cities. Young people,
dressed in the latest European fashion stroll along 3rd
century streets. “It is a gray city” some say, yet others
are impressed with its majestic mountains, its beautiful
Black Sea coast, and its vast fields of sunflowers turning
their heads in unison toward their source of
sustenance. Pray for Jay and Teanna Sunberg who
oversee ministry in that country as well as
missionaries Jessica Morris and Doug and Jennifer
Mann.

Pray for Ulises Solis( missionary) who wants to train Nazarene lay

America 4 Field (CA-4), which covers Honduras, Nicaragua, el

Nazarene Bible Institute in Coban, that is designed to train 12
students at a time, who will go through 10 courses of theological
education while starting one preaching point per month. By the
end of each year, each student must have officially organized at
least one new church. When they graduate in three years, they
will be ordained, and expected to have started 36 preaching
points and organized three to four new churches. The training
program is being conducted in partnership with Rev. David Ac,
rector of the Coban Bible Institute.

Country: United Kingdom
Eurasia Region, Northern European Field
The United Kingdom can be a difficult mission
field because some say it is “Post-Christian”. I do
not know exactly what that means other than to
say Revival through God’s Holy Spirit is always
possible and we should be praying for younger
generations to respond to the call of making
Christlike disciples in all the Nations including
the United Kingdom where most of the
missionaries were from just a few generations
ago. Pray for revival!
