NAFWB Day of PrayerThe NAFWB Day of Prayer is Tuesday, November 4. One of the best ways our churches can reach communities is to pray for our neighbors, so we encourage Free Will Baptists to do just that.
The BLESS App is a free resource that will guide you through praying for your neighbors. You'll receive a list of 5 neighbors each day to pray for. Each time you prayer, you can click in the app to be sure your prayer is recorded. Inviduals, churches, and even states can track the number of prayers people have prayed in real time. Find more at nafwb.org/bless.

Partnership Formed With FWBs in Togo
For the past two years, preliminary work has been done by FWBs in France, Ivory Coast, and IM to test the viability of opening Togo to Free Will Baptist work. On October 17, 2025, a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) was signed between four partners: Ivory Coast Association of FWBs, St. Nazaire FWB Church (France), Fleur de Sel (a FWB non-governmental association being created in Togo), and IM, Inc.
This partnership also interviewed prospective leaders to join FWBs and decided to work with ten local leaders who minister in approximately ten churches. These leaders will undergo further training under the leadership of pastor Samuel Ouattara and his wife Nina, missionaries from Ivory Coast to Togo. Those being trained will be the nucleus of the new movement of FWB in Togo. Learn more about how God is working through our Global Partners in Togo.

Establish an Endowment
The FWB Foundation is encouraging churches, ministries, and individuals to consider the long-term impact of establishing endowments to sustain and strengthen ministry efforts for generations to come. Through endowment funds, gifts are invested--never spent--while earnings are used annually to advance ministry goals such as missions, education, and convention support. To give to The Together Way Endowment benefiting all FWB departments or to learn more about establishing an endowment, contact the FWB Foundation at (877) 336-7575 or visit fwbgifts.com.
