How It Works

Learn More About World Evangelism Fund (WEF)
Why does the World Evangelism Fund exist?
In 1923, the Church of the Nazarene moved to a centralized funding system called the General Budget. In 1997, the name was changed to World Evangelism Fund, but the purpose remained the same: to sustain valuable ministries through consistent mission funding. The World Evangelism Fund provides the undesignated money and mission network that all Nazarene ministries need. Your gifts create and sustain ministries and make it possible to bring Christ’s transformational message of hope and salvation to the world through the Church of the Nazarene.
How is World Evangelism giving received?
Much of the money received comes directly from local congregations as a part of the Funding the Mission plan (watch the Where does the Money Go? video above to learn more). When you give, your church shares a portion of your gift with the worldwide Nazarene church. The World Evangelism Fund goal for every church is 5.5% of its total income annually less their Mission Special giving.
What is the most economical way to give to World Evangelism Fund (WEF)?
The most economical way to give is electronically through World Evangelism Fund (WEF) for individuals and FundingtheMission.org for USA churches. These gifts are sent through the Global Treasury Services to the World Evangelism Fund. Church gifts are automatically recorded on FundingtheMission.org that helps churches track their giving goals. Individuals can choose to give Mission Special recognition to their church during the giving process. Legacy and estate gifts may also be given through the Nazarene Foundation.

How can I give through my local church?
Some congregations choose to raise funds through the Easter Offering and Offering of Thanks. These two offerings have been received each year for more than 100 years. The Stewardship Development team provides promotional and informational resources to help churches communicate the offerings to their congregations. Churches also use Faith Promise pledges to raise funds throughout the year. We encourage pastors and NMI presidents to actively engage their people in understanding and giving toward mission work through the World Evangelism Fund. Many churches choose to invest more than the 5.5% goal toward ministry, and those gifts make a huge difference.
Your faithfulness and generosity make this mission possible. Together, we are the hands and feet of Christ, bringing His transformational message of hope and salvation to the world.
