Village of Hope
Library Built
Village of Hope Uganda, a partner organization with IM, Inc., provides hope, healing, shelter, and education for former child soldiers and children orphaned by the effects of war and poverty. With the help of a $10,500 grant from the Free Will Baptist Foundation last year, they built a library building for the children to grow in their Christian faith, explore the world, develop a love for reading, and aid their education. Join us in prayer for the ministry of this organization!

Making Your Investments Do MoreAs individuals, if we are not building financial stability our lives, it limits the opportunities we will have in the future. The same is true of churches and church organizations. Did you know that in 2016, the Board of Retirement launched an Institutional Investing program as a way to help churches and church organizations set aside funds for their future ministry?
