Often, when we think of missionaries, we categorize them as heroes of the faith. Stories of sacrifice, grit, and longevity interwoven with dangers, spiritual warfare and lives transformed through the power of the gospel have challenged us since the days of the apostle Paul.  What sets them apart? Are they cut from a different cloth or perhaps have a special anointing to walk where few have gone?

So, what has made these BBFI missionaries effective and fruitful? We invite you to go with us as we take a close up look at the life and ministries of BBFI missionaries who have dedicated their lives to pioneer in urban and rural areas where the name of Christ had not been heard. Through a series of articles entitled ‘Heroes of the Faith’, we will look at their journey through trials, hardships, and overwhelming odds to establish a foundation for ministry that still lives on today.

While it will be challenging to capsulize years of hard work down into a single article each featuring a different missionary, our intent is to give you enough insight into how God used them, turning the ordinary into extraordinary. Want to see how your investment in missions has paid off? Stay tuned as we get better acquainted with these outstanding servants of God.
