Your Pastor's Retirement Plan
Pastor Appreciation Month may be over, but helping YOUR pastor prepare for his financial future is a meaningful way to continue to care for him! If you’re not sure whether your church provides retirement benefits for your pastor, ask—so your pastor doesn’t have to. Retirement benefits can provide peace of mind for him and his family, and help him prepare for his next season of ministry. Read John Brummit's new article "Ask Your Pastor About His Retirement Plan" to learn how YOUR church can help establish a retirement plan for your pastor.

Miley International Student ScholarshipThe Miley International Student Scholarship is awarded each year to students from our FWB mission fields who come to the States to study at a Free Will Baptist college. This $1000 scholarship helps with tuition expenses as they are far from their home countries. This year, two ladies studying at Welch College were awarded this scholarship named in honor of Dr. Laverne Miley, a former missionary to Ivory Coast.
Kory Escola, a psychology major from Ecuador, says, "My hope is that the Lord will allow me to use my degree to serve in ministry one day. I am very grateful for your generosity and support. Thank you for investing in my education!” Jéssica Bitti, a freshman from the church in Alpedrete, Spain, is majoring in English at Welch College. She also expresses her gratitude to WNAC by sharing, "Thank you for your donations which allow me to be here!”
