World Passion Week | "One Name: Jesus Changes Everything"
Sunday, April 21–Saturday, April 27
The name of Jesus creates life transformation that goes beyond meeting physical needs.
There are a lot of people and organizations out there doing good work. Some provide food, others education, while still others help people overcome addiction or homelessness. Our missions partnerships at Northwest are grounded in the belief that Jesus is a necessary part of all work focused on life change. It’s the thing that takes a good program, ministry, or organization and turns it into something transformative. This year’s World Passion Week highlights our partnership with missionaries and organizations whose work focuses on sharing the freedom that comes from Jesus while they meet needs on six continents.
WHAT CAN I EXPECT DURING WORLD PASSION WEEK? Our annual World Passion Week features a unique time of worship on Sunday morning focused on missions and events throughout the week to further engage in God's work around the globe. We also kick off our annual Faith Promise Campaign during World Passion Week to collect pledges for all the funds needed for our missions budget over the next year.
SUNDAY, APRIL 21
Join us for a unique time of Sunday morning worship at 9 or 10:35 a.m., either in person or online, to celebrate God's unstoppable work through missions over the past year!
Come and experience multicultural worship through music and Scripture. We will also hear how God is leading people in the homeless population of Dallas to healing, wholeness, and reconciliation through the work of a ministry called OurCalling. Northwest has been long-time partners with this powerful ministry, and we will hear from their founder during this impactful service.
SUNDAY, APRIL 21

FAITH PROMISE
CAMPAIGN
Northwest’s annual missions budget is based solely on the total number of dollars promised through our Faith Promise Campaign each year beginning with World Passion Week. We invite you to participate in God's work around the globe by completing the pledge card online. If you prefer a physical card, you can find one during Sunday morning worship beginning April 21 or contact the church. Physical cards may be returned via mail or in person at the church offices or on Sunday morning. Cards must be submitted by Sunday, May 12 to be included in the missions budget for next fiscal year, which begins July 1, 2024.
What does the Missions budget
at Northwest support?
We have five high investment areas: Cuba, Guatemala, South Asia, South Sudan, and the Northwest Community Center in Vickery Meadow, here in Dallas. Each year, we send short-term trips to help support our partners on the ground. In addition to our refugee outreach at the Northwest Community Center, we support 70 missions partners across 6 continents.
