Put Your Church on the Map
Over the last 25 years, 40 million people have stopped attending church. Why? The overall top reason was they moved. (See The Great Dechurching). Help new movers find your church by enhancing your church’s directory entry. Provide an appealing picture, website, a three sentence description, and perhaps even a 90 second introductory video to Anna Fox (anna@nafwb.org). Make the church directory more than a repository of your 501(c)(3) status; use it to help new movers find your church as well.

Mental Health Awareness
In one study (read the report here), the top actions that parents took to cope with the violent death of a child were prayer and going to church. Is your church ready to be the hands and feet of Christ to hurting people?
May is Mental Health Awareness Month. Each Tuesday in May we are posting a meme on the NAFWB Facebook about biblical actions to take to help hurting people. Learn more about becoming first aid ready at https://nafwb.org/firstaid/.
