NAFWB News

Stay up-to-date on happenings throughout the Free Will Baptist denomination with this week's NAFWB News. Read below the exciting things going on in our national ministries.

The Pastor Crisis

We have 124 Free Will Baptist churches that need a pastor, and the number is growing rapidly. We have been working with our state leaders to address this problem, and we are asking Free Will Baptists to pray this month that the Lord will send us more laborers.

We also want to focus upon what each of us can do to address this problem. Read Dr. Eddie Moody’s blog on “Everyone’s Problem: We Need More Laborers.” Also, watch Dr. Barry Raper’s Better Together Podcast on “Answering the Call to Ministry.”
