NAFWB News #6

Stay up-to-date on happenings throughout the Free Will Baptist denomination with this week's NAFWB News. Read below the exciting things going on in our national ministries. This newsletter can also be found at www.nafwb.org/news.

We are praying for you and your churches. We suspect many of you would like to focus on something besides COVID-19. With that in mind, the NAFWB Church Directory is in the process of moving online. If you would like a picture of your church included in the directory, please send it to anna@nafwb.org. Many churches have been doing a great job producing videos during social distancing. If you have produced an introductory video (three minutes or less), please send the link to the video (must be in Vimeo or YouTube) along with other brief information about your church to anna@nafwb.org.

Below you will find ongoing information to help our people at this time.

As we seek to broaden our outreach to incorporate women in all of our Free Will Baptist churches, we have a new set of Hispanic resources on our website: https://www.wnac.org/espanol. Find Bible studies, resources, and articles in this rapidly-expanding collection. Many have asked for Treasure to become available in Spanish. This is our first step toward make this a reality. Help us spread the word. Share the link with your Spanish-speaking friends and pray for us as we see to expand this outreach.
