Reach the Stranger

The world is coming to our doorstep. Jesus called us to make disciples of all of the nations. Check out these two Better Together Podcasts from this week for ways you can reach the nations who are coming to your community.

Seizing Gospel Opportunities - Clint Morgan
Ministering to the Stranger - Casey Jones

We want to help! As you work to reach those around you, it may help to learn more about the demographic and psychographic makeup of your community. We have partnered with Church Answers to provide the Know Your Community Report to interested churches. Call 615.731.6812 or email questions@nafwb.org for more information.

52 Weeks of Prayer, Week 3

Week 3 of IM's 52 weeks of prayer focuses on India. India has a population of 1.3 billion people with 2,500 people groups, and 90% of those people groups are considered unreached with the Gospel. Pray for ministry efforts in India to reach them.
