We Need Revival

This week's Better Together Podcast (below) featured an interview with Dr. W. Jay Moon of Asbury Theological Seminary describing the circumstances that led to a weeks-long revival on campus. Let us pray for a moving of the Spirit among our churches and congregations that will impact our communities, our country, and our world.

MS Disaster Response

The Master's Men Disaster Response Team has begun work in Mississippi following recent storms there. Teams are traveling to Mississippi from Missouri, South Carolina, Florida, Tennessee, and Alabama, along with volunteers from other churches in the area. Several churches are also sending donations to assist in the efforts.

To volunteer, please contact Field Director Stanley Webb: (205) 495-8968. NOTE: It is important to contact him, since the area remains under restrictions.

Why the D6 "All In" Theme?

The D6 Conference is THE Family Ministry Conference for your entire team! Join us April 10-12 in Orlando, Florida: D6Conference.com.

Space is limited. Reserve your spot at https://www.fwbnam.com/pastors-boot-camp/ today!

Meeting Needs Around Us

There are unspoken needs all around us. How can we best respond when we see someone in need? And how can our approach draw them to the saving knowledge of Jesus?

This new blog from Board of Retirement CEO John Brummitt offers an action plan for meeting those unspoken needs. Read it and keep these ideas in mind so the next time the Lord places someone with a need in your path, you will be ready to be the person He uses to help!
