Acts 1:8 "...and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth."
Missions at West Valley Church is an extension of how we Live as followers of Jesus. It is our desire that everyone would have the opportunity to experience the life-changing grace and love of Jesus. We are committed to sharing this message here in Yakima, and to the ends of the Earth! Below are just a few ways you can get involved and make a difference in our world. You can also check us out on Facebook.
Celebrating Partnerships -- Here and Around the World is a continuation of last year's Faith Promise theme. Faith Promise is a way you can commit to giving to world evangelism over the course of one year. Rather than wait to respond to individual appeals as they come along, you will ask the Lord how much you should give to missions within a one-year time frame. This commitment is called your “Faith Promise,” and makes your missions giving strategic rather than sporadic. Our goal is $100,000 and helps WVC support missions locally, regionally and around the world.

What is LINKS?
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. 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.
