I’m reminded of the words of the young shepherd boy, David when he spoke up in I Samuel 17:29 and said, “Is there not a cause?”

It’s as though the pastors and church members some 72 years ago in 1950 looked at our world when the population stood at 2.5 billion and said the same thing, “Is there not a cause?”  From there the Baptist Bible Fellowship International was formed with the major focus being to send missionaries into the world with the gospel message.  Today the world population is on the brink of reaching 8 billion souls and we continue to see that the cause is even greater.

From the beginning it was decided that missionaries would present their ministries in local churches, trusting God to supply the resources of prayer and financial support to sustain them as they go to the people groups to whom God called them.  The Mission Office was established as a Service Center to collect, process, and get the financial offerings to the missionaries.  It was decided that the Mission Office would not charge the missionaries for this service but rather be supported by offerings and monthly support from churches to provide these services.  Over the years, the services provided by the Mission Office for missionaries and supporting churches have grown from simply processing funds to a full-blown service and resource center to help fulfill the Great Commission. 

For all of its existence, the Mission Office has been supported by some generous churches and many missionaries who voluntarily support it on a monthly basis and for that we are very thankful.  Only a handful of times over the past 72 years has an appeal for financial help been made for the Mission Office; however, today we need your help!  In order to continue to serve the missionaries and churches of the BBFI with first class care and resources, we need to increase our monthly support.  As a church, would you please consider supporting the Mission Office on a monthly basis for at least $5 a month per missionary you support or for a set amount?

Support for the Mission Office can be mailed to; BBFI Missions, PO Box 191, Springfield Missouri 65801 or you may do so on our website at BBFImissions.com.
