Get Healthy!
“Health & Wellness” is a $4 trillion industry. You heard that right, people spend $4 trillion annually on gym memberships, health foods, vitamins, pills, personal trainers and treadmills. Yet, for all the money we spend and all the resources available, we still struggle to live healthy lives. Every day we're faced with unhealthy choices and our natural inclinations are not geared toward health and wholeness. Jesus said, “The thief comes only to steal, kill, and destroy; but I have come that they may have life - real, full, abundant life.” We're convinced that God wants us to Get Healthy spiritually, relationally, physically, and financially. Join us this Sunday as we are trained by the greatest health coaches in history.
Midweek Gatherings-our Midweek Gatherings start back up this Wednesday. Join us for our Nazfamily Meal at 6 p.m. and stick around for our midweek connection. We have activities for all ages.
Mission Thailand
A few of us from Nazfamily will be part of a District Team going on a work and witness trip to Thailand this February. We will spend a few days working with churches and vital ministries in Bangkok and then we head to Udon Thani to work with Burmese refugees. A school has been established there for refugee children fleeing the extensive civil war in Myanmar. We will be collecting these school supplies throughout the month to take with us. We would deeply appreciate your prayers for us, the rest of the team, the missionaries, and the people in Thailand.
Man Camp-this is unlike any retreat you've experienced; because it's not a retreat – its Man Camp! Join us March 3-5 at Camp Arrowhead as we connect with other men across the district and encounter God's presence. Contact us at church@nazfamily.org to register or for more information.
Blast-our kids will have a “Blast” on March 3 - 4 in Lubbock at our annual kid fest. They can showcase their talents in music, art, academics, sports, and so much more. They also have some amazing worship and service opportunities. Contact our Children's Director, Gloria Jimenez, at gloria@nazfamily.org for more information.
