Be PreparedWhile no one wants to think about dying, it is crucial to be prepared.
In 2013, the Foundation began a partnership with Cornerstone Estate Planning. This partnership offers a comprehensive estate plan for all Free Will Baptist families. We work with Christian attorneys licensed in your state to provide all the documents a family will need. The centerpiece of the plan is a revocable living trust that will enable a family to avoid probate and the potential loss of 5-7% of their assets in the process.
The plan also includes:
- All Medical Directives
- Power of Attorney Documents
- Guardianship Papers for Minors
These documents provide families with peace of mind that if they become incapacitated, the family, not the courts, will take care of their affairs.
Give us a call at (877) 336-7575 or visit our website, fwbgifts.com, to learn more!

Eagletons Return to New "Home Base"
The Eagletons were commissioned in 1985 and are now returning to American soil for their new "home base." Kenneth will continue serving with IM as the Director of Field Partnerships.
Curt Holland reflects on their ministry through the years, "Kenneth and Rejane Eagleton, after serving faithfully in a medical ministry in Ivory Coast, have brought their family legacy in Brazil full circle. Their ministry with FWB churches, training seminaries, and pastors for the past 15+ years in Brazil continued the rich heritage and labors of IM missionaries. Over the past 65+ years, when you say Brazil, the name Eagleton has many times followed. Yesterday, Kenneth and Rejane said their goodbyes to Brazil as missionaries, but our FWB ministries in Brazil can continue onward."

Buying Cars in Our Post-COVID EconomyOne of the many ways the COVID era has impacted our economy—and our everyday lives—is that it changed the process of car buying. A shortage of new vehicles and a sharp increase in car prices, combined with supply chain issues and chip shortages, made new cars hard to come by. Read this informative new article by John Brummitt, which explains how car dealers have responded to these changes, so you can be prepared the next time you need to buy a car.
