BFM Outreach at CBTS National Conference
We are thankful for opportunities to introduce BFM to new friends! In March, we were blessed to have a booth at Covenant Baptist Theological Seminary’s national conference in La Grange, Kentucky, where there were 600 people in attendance. Darrell Messer, Greg Winn, Steve Wainright, and Josh Wilson went to represent Baptist Faith Missions and talk with those who came by our display. There were many people inquiring about BFM. It is our prayer that God would lead other pastors and churches to come on board to partner and help us with missions.
We are available to present at conferences and churches in the region to share more about BFM and how the Lord is working through our missionaries. If you are interested, send us a message through the Contact form on our website at www.bfmnow.org/contacts.
