LINKS Missionaries
What are LINKS Missionaries?
Links is a network of personal connections between missionaries and Nazarene districts around the world.
Participating missionaries are assigned to districts to help foster a personal connection between missionaries and the local church. A Links relationship fosters a sense of involvement with Nazarene Missions through regular correspondence from missionaries, updates from their field of service, and presentations by their Links missionary when they are on home assignment. Links missionaries are assigned for one year.
