Backward Discipleship

Too many churches celebrate short-term wins while quietly losing the next generation. In Backward Discipleship, Ron Hunter Jr. shows why lasting faith requires a different approach: starting with the end in mind and planning backward. Drawing on Scripture, research, and decades of ministry leadership, this book exposes why forward-driven discipleship often fails and how generational faith is actually formed.

The Sharing Trees

Your child has more going on inside than they’re telling you. The Sharing Trees is a discipleship processing tool for kids, tweens, and teens, helping parents and mentors move beyond surface-level conversations into honest discussions about emotions, identity, fears, faith, and everyday life. Through engaging storytelling, guided questions, and biblical truth, this read-along resource creates safe spaces where children feel seen, heard, understood, and spiritually guided.

Register by May 25 for the lowest price and join us in Seattle, Washington (March 5–6) or Nashville, Tennessee (April 22–24). The moments are coming, and together we'll make them count.

Invest in the Next Generation of Leaders through the Pop Willey Scholarship Fund IMpact Project (Graphic attached)
More than 80 years ago, pioneering IM missionary Pop Willey invested in developing Cuban leaders amid one of the harshest climates in the world, both physically and politically, leaving a legacy that continues to impact the availability of the Gospel worldwide.

Today, the Pop Willey Scholarship Fund carries that vision forward by providing scholarships to students in Cuba, Pakistan, Argentina, and beyond. These scholarships enable remarkable students to receive quality biblical training, preparing them to establish Bible institutes and training programs in their home countries and to multiply leaders who will train others, creating a ripple effect as students are trained to carry the Gospel to the ends of the earth.

This IMpact Project urgently needs renewed funding to advance Pop Willey’s educational legacy and inspire the next generation of world-changing leaders. An investment in the Pop Willey Scholarship Fund is an investment in multiplication for the Kingdom.

Continue Praying Specifically for IM Global Partners by using the April Missions Moment

Continue learning about missions as a family or church by diving into this month’s missions moment! The April Missions Moment activity (for every age) this month is to visit the IM Global Partners webpage and select four partnerships, one per week, to read and learn about, then commit to praying for them. We even provided four examples for you in the PDF. Pray for the country and their ministry workers, pray for their boldness and safety, and most of all, pray that they will reach people with the Good News of Jesus Christ. Involve your family or small group in the research and intentional time of learning and praying so they may also know the work of our global partners. We hope this is an encouraging resource and a way to keep missions in front of you, and helps you find your vital role in laboring with us in the Great Commission.

AwRegistration for the State Meeting is now open on the state website (www.arfwb.org). If you know that you will be attending, please, please register for the meeting. Your pre-registration will help us in so many ways.

One, it will help us be good stewards of our finances, preparing enough materials for the attendees without an unnecessary excess.

Two, we are offering a lunch for attendees at no cost to you. Again, we want to be good stewards while having enough to feed those in attendance.

Three, it will help greatly with preparations at the Cavanaugh Church in setup for the breakout sessions.

Registration will still be available at the meeting, but the online registration will close on May 2nd.

You can also check out in advance board minutes, financials, the program, and more on the website.

Pastors and church clerks, please send in your church dues ($300) and letters ASAP, so the district clerks can forward that information on to the State Office. This information is needed not only for our State Meeting, but for our representation at the National Convention.

See you in May!
