It’s a very exciting time for those who serve at the BMA Global Missions Center. The National Meeting of our association is at Antioch Baptist Church in Conway (the church I’ve attended for almost 55 years) and we welcome you to visit us at your missions headquarters, 611 Locust Street. Whether you’ve been here countless times or are new to the association, you’re invited to tour the building and enjoy a time of fellowship.
You’ll be met by tour guides Sidney Vines, and Heather and Obed Pantoja. Sidney serves at BMA Global as Relationship Manager, Heather at Guest Services, and Obed, as Director of IT (Information Technology). They will walk you through the offices of those who serve at Lifeword, BMA America, BMA Global, and Ministers Resource Services, AND, you’ll get to see Lifeword’s brand new production facility.
The very first association meeting was in May of 1950, just a month after the controversial Lakeland, Florida, meeting and subsequent split. But in April of 1950, a new association had been born and just hours afterward, a missionary committee made immediate provisions for funds to be sent without interruption to Brazil, the “major foreign mission field” at the time. It was their very first item of business for the newly created association.
I think that says a lot about who we are and what we do at BMA America.
Seventy-three years have passed and many changes have occurred, but one thing remains the same for this small association of churches: We are all about God’s mission.
When you tour the building, ask the guide to show you both BMA Global and Lifeword’s value statements and be encouraged.
Take the time to come see us and celebrate your missionary legacy.
