It is with mixed emotions of deep sadness and rejoicing that we inform you of the homegoing of Barbara Neel, BBFI veteran missionary who alongside her late husband Bill, served the Lord in Japan for over 55 years. Barbara passed from this earthly life into heaven on Thursday November 13 in Japan. This world has lost another light in the darkness as Barbara met her savior face to face and was reunited with many, she loved so dearly that preceded her to heaven.

One can only imagine Barbara’s joy when she met her Savior, saw the glories of Heaven and heard her Savior say, Well Done!

But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.”
1 Corinthians 2:9

Please join the entire BBFI Missionary Family in praying for Barbara’s family as they grieve this tremendous loss.
