From Main Street to Managua:
Stories of Volunteer Missionaries**
by Carol Anne Eby
The Church of the Nazarene has raised up a mighty army of volunteers to help build the kingdom of God around the world. Known as Mission Corps, these soldiers consist of men and women of all ages who leave home and family, businesses and responsibilities, even rocking chairs and retirement to follow God’s leading.
The accounts described in this book reflect but a few of these dedicated followers of God. And if you listen closely, perhaps you’ll hear God calling your name to step out into the magnificent adventure of volunteer missions.
My Bengal of Gold:
The Church of the Nazarene in Bangladesh**
by Dorli Gschwandtner
Bangladesh. It’s one of the world’s poorest, neediest nations and a place where serving God sometimes means suffering. Yet in the midst of hardship, courageous Bangladeshi Nazarenes are loving their neighbors to Christ. After only 15 years of ministry, hundreds of Nazarene churches exist with thousands of members.
Open this book and discover the unique land of Bangladesh--a country full of poverty, suffering, and fear, yet also full of joy, happiness, and peace.
Smoke That Thunders:
Lessons from the Heart of Africa**
by Gary D. Sidle
Journey with missionary Gary Sidle as he takes you on his family’s adventures during their first term of service in the heart of Africa. You’ll laugh as he remembers how half the congregation walked out when he began his first sermon in Zambia . . . or when he nearly collapsed during his first Zambian funeral. You’ll ponder God’s perfect timing when a rescue vehicle arrives just in time to pull his van out of the sand. And you’ll smile as his kids eagerly befriend their African peers. Open this book to discover the many lessons this courageous family learns as they travel to Africa in obedience to God’s call.

Strangers No More:
Welcoming Immigrants in North America
by Aimee Curtis
All across the continent, Nazarenes are reaching out in love to thousands of people who come from foreign countries. Sometimes it is by providing food or clothing; other times it is by offering employment assistance, spiritual guidance, or English classes. Whatever the means, caring Nazarenes often serve as the intermediaries between immigrants and their new home.
Savor these stories of hope, compassion, and courage . . . then listen for that still, small Voice calling you to reach out with hospitality to immigrants in your own community.
Under the Ombú Tree
by Fletcher L. Tink
The ombú tree. It’s simply an overgrown shrub rising tall into the air. It does not grow elegantly like other trees; rather its multiple trunks twist and turn, wrestling like giant boa constrictors. Like this tree, the Church of the Nazarene has proved its longevity in South America. Its protective reach goes far, and its hospitality is generous and genuine. The “trunks” of the denomination are thick with intertwining cultural origins.
Travel with the author as he journeys around South America recounting the stories of God’s faithfulness and goodness to those who call themselves Nazarenes.
Why This Road?
The Carolyn Myatt Story
by Betty Howard
Following the death of her husband on their honeymoon, Carolyn Myatt struggled with her relationship with God and her understanding of His ways. Yet tenderly and gently God led her back to himself and called her to be His servant on the mission field.
As a medical missionary, Carolyn accomplished tremendous things, including the initiation of the Community-Based Health Care program in both India and Papua New Guinea. And while the road God has led her down has been rocky at times, Carolyn knows it is God’s call that has sustained her.
