Description:

Love Your Neighbor 2027 is an inspiring global initiative designed to empower congregations within the Church of the Nazarene to engage in meaningful evangelism and compassionate outreach in their local communities. This project mobilizes Nazarenes from around the world, encouraging them to share Christ's love through hands-on evangelism and service. The profound impact of Love Your Neighbor is evident, with many congregations establishing ongoing outreach ministries as a result of their participation. Testimonials from missionaries, like Scott Armstrong in the Mesoamerica Region, highlight the transformative nature of this initiative, noting not just individual decisions for Christ, but also the establishment of vital connections between churches and local community leaders that promise lasting influence.

The scheduled event from June 20–27, 2027, will feature coordinated community-based projects in Kansas City, organized in collaboration with Global Missions staff and the Kansas City District. These dedicated efforts will focus on sharing the gospel, providing community service, and supporting church planting, both locally and globally. Importantly, this initiative aspires to ensure that financial limitations do not hinder participation; with a scholarship request aimed at assisting up to 1,000 individuals, Love Your Neighbor 2027 envisions a diverse and united movement of believers committed to spreading the love of Jesus. Ultimately, this project will not only change lives but also strengthen the global Church of the Nazarene and sow seeds of continued evangelism and discipleship within communities everywhere.
