Distinguished Service Award
The Distinguished Service Award (DSA) is a tribute to church people who are living
and for their service to the church. Although the DSA is given through NMI, it need
not be given in the area of missions. A church may wish to honor anyone in the
church for their efforts. Note: The DSA may only be given by a church or a group
within the church. Individuals may not give this award.
The cost of the DSA remains at $125 (U.S.). Reprints of DSAs are $25 each.

Money received for DSA and Memorial Roll certificates is used to support Missionary
Health Care plans.
Memorial Rolls
The Memorial Roll, established in 1919, is a way to honor deceased friends and loved
ones. A certificate is issued in the name of the person memorialized and is often
presented to a family member or displayed in the church. Churches or individuals
may place as many names on the Memorial Roll as they desire, and those
memorialized need not be members of the church.
The cost of placing someone on the Memorial Roll is $75 (U.S.). You will receive an
8x10 certificate that can be presented to the family. Duplicates of the certificate are
$25 each.

O Lord, we owe everything to You! Our very breath is because of
You! Thank you for Your great care and love for us. May we give
back to You in our efforts to serve You. May we testify to Your
great mercy and grace. May we be gracious to all we come in
contact with, remembering how You pour Your grace out upon us,
daily, especially in that we don't deserve it. In all that we do, may
our motivation always be love for You and the love that is welling
up inside of us for others. Increase our burden for lost souls, Lord.
Strengthen us for the task ahead. With grateful hearts, we ask this
in Jesus' grace giving name. Amen
