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.

The Laborer Is Worthy of Help

Jesus told us that “the laborer is worthy of his hire." Paul reiterated the teaching that those who do ministry deserve support (1 Timothy 5:18). One way we fulfill this command is by providing help to pastors and their wives. Since July 2022, the Refresh Counseling Program has fulfilled that command by providing help to pastors and their wives. The program has also helped us combat the pastor shortage problem. One participant said: "I very likely wouldn't be in the ministry still if it weren't for the Refresh Counseling Program." The program helps us obey Christ’s admonition by helping laborers who are worthy of our help. If you agree and would like to see this program continue, please give online using the button below or send a check to:

New Opportunities Through Partnership

IM has new opportunities through a unique partnership that opens doors for our denomination to reach the unreached in the 10/40 Window through the powerful platform of education. This collaboration allows us to strategically engage some of the least-reached people in the world with the hope of the Gospel, using education as a bridge to build relationships and make an eternal impact.

Free Will Baptists now have opportunities to serve either short-term or long-term in locations across the Middle East, North Africa, Central Asia, and East Asia. Whether you’re an individual sensing a call to go or a church looking to mobilize and support global workers, we’d love to connect and share more.
