It is with mixed emotions of sadness and rejoicing that we inform you of the homegoing of Joe Flippin, veteran missionary to the people of Brazil.  Joe served the Lord for 46 years loving, preaching and teaching the gospel of Jesus Christ among the Brazilian people.  After battling a long-term illness, Joe passed from this earthly life into heaven during the early morning hours on Friday January 26, 2024 in Spring, Texas. This world has lost another light in the darkness as Joe met his savior face to face and was reunited with many, he loved so dearly that preceded him to heaven.

One can only imagine his joy when he heard the voice of his Savior and saw the glories of Heaven.

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 Joe’s wife Sherran and the Flippin family as they grieve this tremendous loss.
