Prayer Changes Things

It’s time to pray! Prayer makes a difference (James 5:16). We are calling on all Free Will Baptists to pray daily and to begin by praying for their neighbors. Pastors can register their church for BLESS (free to participate) or individuals can sign up at www.nafwb.org/bless. It is our hope that Free Will Baptists will surpass 100,000 prayers by the NAFWB Day of Prayer November 7.

Learn more about how to participate in BLESS by attending today’s webinar at 10:00 am CDT. Click here to register. If you are unable to attend, email us and we will send you the video recording.
