NAFWB News

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.

We Will Pray for You!

Prayer makes a difference. Did you know every Wednesday the NAFWB personnel gather in chapel to pray for specific pastors and churches. These same requests are prayed over by a special group of prayer warriors called Gideon’s Army on Fridays. If you ever have a request you would like to be prayed over send it to us at questions@nafwb.org and with "Prayer" in the subject line.

Church Spotlights

Every Wednesday on the NAFWB Facebook page we highlight a pastor and a church while providing a little information about them. Check out these church spotlights and pray for them.

If your church does not yet have a picture in the NAFWB Church Directory, send one to anna@nafwb.org to have it added to your listing.

Church Camp Impact

We recently conducted studies on the impact of some of the programs our youth have participated in at the National level. We would like to learn more about the role of camps and their impact on our youth.

Could you help us as we begin this process by sending us the camp(s) that the children in your churches attend? If you have a contact for those camps, that would be helpful as well. Please email your information to questions@nafwb.org with "Camp" in the subject line.

2025 WMO Theme

The theme for the 2025 World Missions Offering is "Continue the Mission: It's About the Gospel." This year, IM is focusing on how we can continue the mission together. The Gospel message is about how Jesus came to bring salvation to a lost and dying world. Whether you’ve heard this message your whole life or it’s brand new for you, the truth is for every generation, every nation, and every heart. It’s about the Gospel! More at https://iminc.org/wmo/.

D6 Conference 2025

We see you, ministry leaders—the late nights, the heartfelt prayers, the tireless dedication to shaping lives, not just programs. But as the new year begins, is your team united under one cohesive mission, or is each ministry working in isolation? Imagine the impact when your children’s, student, and adult ministries align to disciple every generation with a shared strategy. The D6 Conference 2025 isn’t just another event—it’s your team’s opportunity to recharge, refocus, and reset for a unified mission that builds generational faith. Register your team HERE.
