The unique strength of the Baptist Bible Fellowship International is Missions. If you are not familiar with the how and why of BBFI missions, I encourage you to check out the Missions Office Website.
BBFI Missions Success
The Wednesday morning session of the 2016 BBFI Fall Meeting in Cape Cod was all about Missions. Here are some statistics of BBFI missions:
- In 2015 117,000 were saved as a result of the direct ministry of BBFI missionaries. This number does not include national missionaries.
- In 2015 96 churches were started outside the United States.
- 12,733 leaders have been trained by BBFI missionaries.
- As of May 2016, 61,000 have been saved and 17 new churches have been started by BBFI missionaries.
- All this is done with about 740 missionaries in 84 countries.
Keith and Marietta Mills have served in Scotland for 30 years.
Missionary Approvals
TEAM missionaries were approved. A TEAM missionary raises personal finances (not ministry finances) and goes to the country to gain actual experience. Most continue as a career missionary. Three TEAM missionaries were approved:
- Eric & Ashley Woodworth in Honduras.
- Jeremy & Andi Eulberg in Bolivia.
- Justin Anderson in the Philippines.
In addition, 5 career missionaries were approved:
- Greg & Mary Albert in Wales.
- Kaitlynne Dixon in Guatamala.
- Nathan & Tiffany Foltz in Tanzania.
- Blake & Megan Hunter in South Africa.
- Daniel & Luz Palavicinis in Nicaragua.
A presentation was made by a missionary going to a restricted access area to displaced people. Because of the current climate in many countries, families are forced to leave and become refugees with nothing. Because of the nature of this ministry, all names and details are not included here. But I encourage you to pray for missionaries, churches, ministries, and people involved in this whole process.
