Bless Every HomeSign your church up at nafwb.org/bless for a free account. Currently there are 27 Free Will Baptist Churches who have started using Bless Every Home. Of those churches there are 110 “lights” (people who are praying daily for their neighbors), and they have recorded 4,454 total prayers and 15 instances of sharing the gospel. If you would like to learn more about BLESS, watch this brief webinar.
Once you have set up your church's free account, BLESS also offers tools to add on to your free account for a fee. Which includes the following addons:
- Bless Partner - a church can coordinate with the “lights” in their church and community.
- New Movers - weekly mailing addresses of those who move into their community.
- Community Connector - allows a church to examine the demographics of their community in real time.
