Bible Reading Plan
Redemptive-Historical Bible Reading Plan
This year we are doing a 16 part plan that reveals God's plan of redemption in the Old Testament. Here is what the organizer says about it:
"I have outlined redemptive history in 16 stages, from creation up through the open-ended expectation of the Day of the Lord. Then I provide carefully curated sections from the OT that trace this history. I tried to pick at least one chapter from every OT book, but to keep it reasonably short I had to leave some out. I also pepper in psalms along the way. Then, for each stage, I provide a chapters from the NT that bring out how each of those steps of redemptive history (for ancient Israel) are fulfilled in the new era in Christ." Greg Laniers Blog
We will have three to five weeks to read and reflect on each part.
We will reflect on PART 11 for TWO weeks.

Nazarene News
More than 50 children and their parents from the Cuban community of Moa, Holguín, attended the "Children's Community Impact" held by Missions Mobilization (MM) on 22 July 2023.
During the activity, the children were taught the importance of obedience through Jonah's story. The volunteers also shared food, sweets, clothes, toys, and more with them. Pregnant mothers also received a basket with items specifically for them.
Elba Duson, Missions Mobilization coordinator for the Central Mesoamerica Area, said the event was possible thanks to various church members' support, the district's Nazarene Compassionate Ministries president, and District Superintendent Luis Batista.
"We marveled at seeing a life restored through the message," said Catalina Peña, MM coordinator for eastern Cuba.
"Doing missions in Cuba is a great challenge. Together with my team, we dream of continuing to teach our district that these events are possible," Pena said. "Our God provides, and I am confident that he will continue to provide the necessary strategies to move this ministry forward."
The ministry of MM is asking Nazarenes to unite in prayer for Cuba and the ministry of Missions Mobilization so that God raises more leaders who are dedicated and willing to serve.
"We want MM to become a strong ministry in every district and to develop potential missionaries through every short-, medium-, and long-term service opportunity," Duson said.
