Video Series from Music Commission

No matter the musical style or church size, most churches use vocalists to help lead the congregation into worship each week. In this 2-part video series, Chad Donoho, from Bethel Church in Kinston, NC, shares some tips on how to have an effective praise team, to improve their vocal blend and to help them serve the church body through worship.

Interview with Director David Brown

In this interview with Pastor Daryl Grimes, David Brown shares his testimony on how God led him to Free Will Baptist Foundation, how Free Will Baptist Foundation is serving the denomination, and how God is using planned giving, endowments, and grants (all through Free Will Baptist Foundation) to help spread the good news of the Gospel.

Pray for Cuba

The people of Cuba are in desperate need of your prayers. The current situation in Cuba, where IM partners are ministering, is fragile because of a rise in COVID cases and the economic decline. The seminary is still closed. No churches or schools are open. Cuban pastors and families are facing tremendous challenges as they try to secure food and medicine. There has been a lot of political unrest.

Despite all of these struggles, IM partners in Cuba are working on an online program with fellow Free Will Baptists to educate and train pastors and leaders around the world! This is great news.

To make a tangible impact, you can give to the Cuba partnership through the IM website so Cuban ministries and families can continue sharing the gospel: https://ppay.co/0LOWFIflWCI.
