Loving Interested Nazarenes Knowing and Sharing (L.I.N.K.S.) is a network of personal connections between missionaries and Nazarene districts around the world.

Participating missionaries are assigned to districts and, then on the district level, connected to local churches. This gives each church an opportunity to become personally acquainted with a missionary family and their field of service. A L.I.N.K.S. relationship fosters a sense of involvement with the global mission's enterprise of the church through regular correspondence from the missionaries, updates from their field, and even through deputation services while the missionaries are on home assignment. 

Missionaries and churches experience close relationships built over time linking them through a common bond.
