Here at BMFP, we are a family. A missionary is not just a number, but a treasured servant of God. BMFP is an arm to assist the local church as it seeks to fulfil its responsibility to reach a lost and dying world with the Gospel of Jesus Christ. So how does BMFP aid the Local church?
BMFP CAN ASSIST YOUR CHURCH WITH:
I. A Missionary Undertaking:
Proverbs 29:18 says, “Where there is no vision, the people perish.” The Local Church must have a vision of sending out missionaries! The church and missionary must have a missionary vision! BMFP is prepared and willing to help bring the missionary efforts together by aiding in transmitting this vision to the local churches.
- BMFP is an aid, a shared partner to help the Local church and the Missionary fulfill the great commission.
- BMFP does not replace in any way the Local church and only has the authority that the local church defers to it.
- BMFP is subject to and accountable to the local church for the missionary that is entrusted to them.
II. A Missionary Understanding:
BMFP has many years of experience serving with missionaries and the different challenges that they face on the mission field. Our Field Administrators have all served on the mission field. We can help you help your missionary as they navigate Pre-field Ministry and life on the mission field. Your missionary is a huge investment. BMFP is available to help you with this precious investment of a lifetime of service on the mission field.
III. Missionary Undergirding: What Does BMFP do for you?
BMFP invests many hours in the lives of our missionaries. We are in churches, colleges, and schools always on the lookout for that one the Lord is leading into missions. With the blessing of the sending church, we prepare them for pre-field ministry as they set out to raise their needed support to fulfill God’s will for their lives and then assist them in their transition to the field. Once on the field, BMFP makes every effort to provide the care they need so they can effectively serve the Lord.
