Nazarenes gather from across the United States.

Each September, Nazarenes who are passionate about Work and Witness and missions, gather together from across the United States at Regional Work and Witness Conferences.

This year the conferences are being held at Ellicott City, Maryland (Eastern), Portland, Oregon (Northwest), and Gahanna, Ohio (East Central).

Todd and Connie Aebischer (Asia-Pacific Regional Work and Witness Coordinators) are currently in the states, representing the region and sharing the priority Work and Witness projects of the fields at the three conferences.

“This has been an incredibly uplifting experience,” said Todd.  “It is a real blessing to see so many Nazarenes from across the USA who are passionate about being the tangible hands and feet of Christ through serving in short-terms missions.”
