Verse of the Week
For our people who prefer “paperless banking, our church offers online giving services.
Tithes and offerings may be paid through computer by going to the church’s website,
www.middletownnaz.com, and clicking the tab “set up online giving.” Gifts may be
given by setting up donations directly from your checking account or by debit or credit
cards. Those with i-phones and android smart phones may also download the “Egiving
Mobile” app by Stewardship Technology to make giving even more convenient.
For Christ’s love compels us, because we are convinced that one died for all, and therefore all died.
And he died for all that those who live should no longer live for themselves but for him who died
for them and was raised again. 2 Corinthians 5:14-15 (NIV)
App for online Giving
Android" users may now download an application that makes using online giving even
more convenient. Search for "Egiving Mobile" in the market and down load the app with
that name. You will need to set up an online giving account to use the service, but once
set up is very convenient to use.

Prayer Needs
Prayer Focus—World Prayer
It is time for us to embrace a lifestyle of radical faith, fervent prayer and fasting. We are in
the midst of indescribable evil and spiritual warfare! I believe God is calling us to revolutionize not only our personal prayer life but our prayer meetings as well. The following is a
list of the top tne countries where extreme persecution is being carried out. I encourage
you to add these to your daily deep-heart prayers.
1.) North Korea
6.) Saudi Arabia
2.) Somalia
7.) Maldives
3.) Syria
8.) Pakistan
4.) Iraq
9.) Iran
5.) Afghanistan
10.) Yemen

CELEBRATE RECOVERY
Is a biblical and balanced program that helps us overcome our
hurts, hang-ups, and habits. It is based on the actual words of
Jesus rather than psychological theory. Twenty years ago,
Saddleback Church launched Celebrate Recovery with 43
people. It was designed as a program to help those struggling with hurts, habits and hang
-ups by showing them the loving power of Jesus Christ through a recovery process. Celebrate Recovery is now in over 20,000 churches worldwide! Meeting Every Sunday Night
right here at the Middletown Church of the Nazarene— 5:00 PM.
