BBF News and Notes
Dear Friends,
I pray that you will decide to join us in fellowship in June. It is a good idea to get your reservations in early, because we did not reserve as many rooms as we have in the past.
God will certainly bless your time sitting under his Word. The BBF June conference offers teaching of God’s Word rightly divided for over almost a week. If you choose to attend, the Holy Spirit will use His Word to change your life. Don’t miss this opportunity for God to work in you and through you. The Holy Spirit will have a life changing impact on your entire family.
ARE YOU SINGLE? Fellowshipping with saints of like precious faith is sweet for believers of all ages and situations. At a BBF Conference, you have the opportunity to meet serious saints rejoicing in the Lord. Grace believers from all over American and the world attend. Connect with stranded grace believers, believers from large and small grace works, young and old, single and married. Grace believers from every walk of life will be there.
Change a life! Consider sponsoring someone else in full or in part. If you know of young single persons or couples that have never had the privilege of attending a BBF conference and maybe never will due to the expenses, tell them about the blessings of attending. Encourage them to attend, and offer to financially assist them. Maybe several families or your church can chip in.
If you have not attended for a few years, consider attending again this year. We are never beyond being blessed by a conference such as this. The sacrifice is always well worth it.
If you will not be attending, please remember us in your prayers. Remember our speakers, teachers, helpers, musicians, numerous volunteers, and of course all who attend. Thank you.
Yours & His,
Dave Brown, BBF President
