Resources for You

The Executive Office works to equip pastors, churches, and congregants with tools they need to better reach their communities. If your church has not yet taken advantage of these opportunies, find some that are best suited for your needs:

Pray for Pakistan

Violent persecution has been carried out recently against 25 churches and about 150 Christian homes in Pakistan. The Executive Committee of the International Fellowship of Free Baptist Churches is asking Free Will Baptist churches to help.

They have the contact of a pastor in Pakistan who can distribute the needed resources that would be of great help during this difficult time. If you can help, please send an offering using this link https://ppay.co/5iKA9mdczlk, and type “Pakistan Relief” under the memo section. Please pray for these brothers and sisters.

World Missions Offering Recap

We are so excited and thankful to see all God is doing through His people and their generosity today from the WMO. We have seen many live stream services, mission-focused messages, pictures, and offering totals from churches across the country.

If your church is still raising funds to contribute to the WMO, it's not to late to give: www.iminc.org/wmo.

Board of Retirement Set Rate Fund

The Set Rate Fund, another one of our Preset Plan Option, is managed to earn a set rate of return to the participant and help offset volatility over the short-term. The rate of return is set by the board of trustees and is subject to change based on the fund’s overall performance.
