Welcome Daniel & Kendle Akers to our BFM family!

We’re excited to announce that the Akers Family from Heritage Baptist Church will be heading to Montreal, Canada, to help plant churches and share the Gospel in one of North America’s most unreached cities.

After five years of faithful service in Lexington, Kentucky, God has called this family to a new chapter, partnering with Baptist Faith Missions to reach people in a place where less than 0.7% of the population claims to be Christian. Please pray for this family as they prepare to go and for God to use them for His glory.

“Then He said to His disciples, ‘The harvest truly is plentiful, but the laborers are few. Therefore pray the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest.'” -Matthew 9:37-38
