BFM National Conferences Outreach

An Update from Pastor George Sledd

“Sheridan Stanton and I represented BFM at the annual 2022 Founders Conference in Fort Myers, FL over January 20-23. It was a great time of fellowship and hearing the Word of God. We were able to distribute nearly 100 BFM books/outreach handouts to those who came by our display booth. We are hoping that God will lead other pastors and churches to come on board to partner and help us with missions.”

Thank you to those who have given and to those who are giving to help with the expenses for these outreach efforts!

Important Announcement: 2022 Winter Conference

PLEASE NOTE!

THE BFM WINTER CONFERENCE HAS BEEN CALLED OFF UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE!

Pastor Ben Glover and the Park Ridge Baptist Church have regrettably and reluctantly called off until further notice the BFM Winter Conference scheduled for January 16-19.

This is due to outbreaks of the Omicron Virus both in the greater-Orlando area and also among the members of their church.

They didn’t want to do this, and especially at this late date, but they believe it is the wisest, safest, and most prudent course of action at this time. They would still like to hold open the possibility of re-scheduling for some time soon, maybe even within the next couple of months. We’ll see how all the circumstances develop. Stay tuned…
But, for now – THE BFM WINTER CONFERENCE HAS BEEN CALLED OFF until further notice.

They also regret and apologize if this causes complications to anyone who may have already made or booked travel/accommodation plans. But this decision is made with prayerful consideration of everyone’s best interests.

We do want to thank and commend the Park Ridge church for hosting the Winter Conference for going on four decades. They have been faithful and diligent supporters and advocates for our missionaries. Pray for them.

Stay tuned to our Facebook page (facebook.com/BFMnow) and our FaithWorks Blog (www.bfmnow.org/faithworks-blog/) for further information and details.

Returning to Normal Amidst Flooding

Odali and Kathy Barros served the Lord in Sao Paulo, Brazil together from 1987-2013. In late 2013, they transitioned to Manaus in Northern Brazil to start sharing the Gospel and planting churches in villages along the river.

Dear Brothers and Sisters,

We pray and hope that all of you are doing well. We thank God for each of you for your prayers and support. Our ministry is greatly blessed through your encouragement.

Things here are getting back to normal but at this moment they are giving alerts of new cases of the virus, so we do our ministry being careful and taking the care necessary. 

One problem that we are having in some places is flooding. The Amazon and the Negro River have risen higher than it has for over 50 years. The community of Cacao where we have a church, the water has reached part of the building. At the village of Ubim, the water has not reached the church, but to get to the church we have to walk over a temporary bridge made to get into the village. The water still is coming up. Many places are really flooded.

Kathy wants to thank those who gave donations for the t-shirts for the kids of Ubim. The t-shirts are ready. The kids will be happy to get new ones.

The ministry at the mother church, Pedras Vivas Baptist church is back to normal. We have started back the music classes on Sunday morning. We plan on starting back the Friday night services in homes soon. Kathy and I are doing visitation to see people that might want services in their homes. One thing that we did in our church was to sing only songs from the hymnal song book. Seems like everyone has enjoyed the month. We also mentioned about some of the authors.

I have been working this month on encouraging the church and showing them the mission God gave each of us: to tell people about God’s love and what He did for man to be saved. Telling them the importance of evangelism. It is easy to get caught up in our busy life and forget to tell others about God’s Love.

May God bless each of you! 

Love in Christ our Savior,

Odali and Kathy
