From news release (FWBGO.com):

Antioch, TN—Free Will Baptist International Missions is pleased to announce a redesigned, interactive, and customizable website. The refreshed site experienced a soft launch April 17, 2009. “The new design is fresh, clean, and exciting” said Deputy Director of Stateside Development Mark McPeak. “We want our website to work for all segments of our denomination and deliver the tools individuals and churches need to be involved and informed.”

An uncluttered front page, as well as new graphics and a fresh color scheme, immediately alerts visitors to the changes. “One of the most exciting features to me,” stated Kiley Hawkins, the Mission’s development manager, “ is the new MyIM settings. Each user can customize the material fed to his home page by setting up a MyIM account and choosing the information in which he is most interested and missionaries he wants to follow.” Preferences and demographic information can be changed and updated at any time. Online giving and ordering is simplified for MyIM users.

Missionaries have more tools to add content to their pages. Streaming video, interactive features, and the personalized settings for each user (MyIM) take international missions communication to the next level. Weekly prayer updates, the latest news from missionaries, and creative ways to be involved are at visitors’ fingertips. Mission history can be read and written on the interactive FWBIM Timeline. Videos about recent mission initiatives, events, and celebrations can be streamed or downloaded. In addition, the site contains basic information about the organization, with links and contact information to help users stay connected to missionary personnel at home and abroad.

“I urge everyone to visit fwbgo.com and set up a MyIM account, browse missionary pages, watch a video, and send us feedback,” encouraged Deborah St. Lawrence, communications manager.
