ABOUT THE RENDEZVOUS MINISTRY
We equip, challenge, and encourage Nazarene missionary kids as they navigate life and cultural transitions.
When big life transitions happen, missionary kids are often forced to leave their support system and everything that is familiar to them. Our investment in these missionary kids is an investment in each missionary family and in future missionaries,
ministers, and leaders of the Church.
Together, we can help missionary kids
navigate transitions and step into the
fullness of who God created them to be.

Getting Involved
The Rendezvous ministry can only happen when we follow God's leading and work together to love each of these missionary kids and their families. You and/or your church can be a vital part of sustaining and expanding this important ministry!
Pray
Prayer is one of the most powerful ways you can support Rendezvous. When you pray, you join us in asking God to shape the hearts and lives of missionary kids as they navigate identity, transition, and faith. Pray for the young adults who gather, the leaders who walk with them, and the movement of the Spirit through every conversation and connection. Your prayers create a foundation of spiritual care that reaches far beyond the events themselves.
Become an Advocate
Advocating for the Rendezvous ministry means using your voice, your time, or your platform to help others understand and engage with the mission. You can volunteer to serve at one of our events, host a conversation about MK care in your church, or share stories from the field with those who may not yet know the challenges and beauty of cross-cultural life. Advocates help grow awareness, build community, and create opportunities for others to say “yes” to being part of this transformative ministry.
Give
Your generosity helps make the Rendezvous ministry possible. Financial support directly funds travel scholarships, curriculum development, lodging, food, and care resources for missionary kids and their leaders. When you give, you’re not just covering costs—you’re creating space for belonging, healing, and vocational discernment. Whether it’s a one-time donation or ongoing monthly support, every gift you offer becomes part of God’s provision in the lives of global youth and their families.

Participant Stories
Amanda J
Rendezvous Plus Participant
"Rendezvous Plus was, for me, a life changer. This gathering changed me so much, and gave me such a different perspective on life around me; where I had once felt that I was completely alone in my struggles and feelings of loneliness, a new feeling of community and understanding began to grow."
J.
Rendezvous Participant
"Growing up overseas has prepared me for a lot in life. One thing it has not prepared me for though, is the transition back into my passport country. Now, after Rendezvous, I am not only prepared but also excited for the transition!"
Joy F.
Rendezvous Participant
"This has been one of the best gifts ever given to me. Through Rendezvous Plus, God refreshed and encouraged me in the middle of one of the hardest years of my life."
Amanda
Rendezvous Participant
"Before I went to Rendezvous Plus, I had felt very distant from God, and I felt as if my prayers weren't going past the ceiling. After Rendezvous Plus, however, I felt that God was close to me, and was once again directing me in the way that I should be going."
