Craig Stevenson – I have thoroughly enjoyed my time working with the staff of the BBFI Mission Office in serving our missionaries, missionary kids, colleges and churches over the past year and a half.  I look forward to many future opportunities to partner with the Mission Office in continuing to spread the Gospel to the far reaches of the world.

Beginning October 2, 2017, I will be starting to work on staff at Park Crest Baptist Church in Springfield, MO.  I will be overseeing many areas of ministry including but not limited to the small group ministry, outreach, assimilation and first impressions.

Thank you for allowing me to be a part of the greatest world mission organization in the world and I will be praying that God continues to bless the mission efforts of the BBFI.

Lewis McClendon – I have enjoyed the time I have worked at the Mission Office. Working with Dr. Konnerup and the Mission Office staff to be a help and blessing to our missionaries and churches has been a great experience. I have enjoyed praying with them during the daily 9 am prayer meeting, working with them on the Reunion and Candidate School, and interacting with them on a daily basis on the myriad of issues that arise each day has been a life changing experience for me.  Rest assured that the Mission Office is doing everything they can to be a blessing and help to you.

I do not plan to stop working with missionaries when I leave the Mission Office. I will be expanding the training I did before I came to the Mission Office. For the past 8 years we have hosted Missionary Communication Workshop. It has been held in November in California. Our hope is to be able to host more workshops in the future, including workshops on the east coast and on the mission field. We are also tweaking the workshop to create a Ministry Communication for pastors and staff in the United States. In addition to the Communication Workshop I will be available to work with missionaries in the area of their finances. I have taken the classes and am in the mentorship process of becoming a Ramsey Solutions Financial Coach. I want to be able to help missionaries solve the financial issues they have so that they can focus more on ministry and less on constant financial stress.
