Dear Prayer Partners,
RefresHer 2009
We want to praise the Lord for what He did in our
midst in January 2009. Melanie got to host the 2nd Philippines
National Women's Conference - RefresHer 09, along with our ladies
leadership team as well as speakers and partners from the US - Mrs.
Greta Brown, Somerset, KY, Karen Baird, MANNA Worldwide, Mrs. Lora
Hooge, Philippines and Jami Marion, Decatur, TX. There were over 600
ladies who attended this conference and 42 received Jesus Christ as
their Savior. Melanie was able to invite many public high school
teachers who came and were blessed by the conference. We also
appreciate other BBFI churches from our area who participated and
made this such a great day.
We had a great month at Sumulong Baptist Church
in January as well. We were able to do high school outreaches in two
different high schools which were followed up by a special youth
service where we had 148 in attendance. Along with our visitors from
Ohio, Texas, Kentucky and MANNA Worldwide, we were able to go into
neighborhoods and even paint a Sunday School building. Throughout
the month of January we were able to see 520 people receive Jesus
Christ as their personal Savior.
Upcoming Events and Prayer
Requests
| April 2009 - Youth Camp is April 14-17 and 21-24
in 2009. |
It's Camp time again. Last year, we saw many long
lasting results of camp - greater involvement from our
young people in ministry, increased attendance in our
youth services and 2 young people who surrendered to
missions confirmed that they will go back to Cambodia.
Youth camp can have such a big impact in the life of a
young person. We are asking people once again to partner
with us to help sponsor over 1000 young people who
wouldn't be able to afford a youth camp like this unless
someone helps support them. We are trying to raise $20
per camper; the support you give will make a difference
for eternity in someone's life this year.
10 campers == $200
20 campers = $400
50 campers = $1000
100 campers = $2000 |
|
Could you help
sponsor a camper this year? Please
mark sponsorship: Youth Camp 2009 on
your check to BBFI. |

Legacy Project Update
We will be sending another update on the Legacy Project in
the next few weeks. God is working in our land and building
project. We have two pieces of property we are actively
pursuing; we have raised $160,000 so far. Along with
commitments, BBFI funds and the future sale of our current
property, our commitments are over $500,000. We still need
to raise $600,000 - $700,000 for the Legacy Project. Thank
you to all of you who have given to this project and have
prayed for us - keep praying! God is answering your prayers.

Thank you for your faithful support of our ministry through finances
and prayer.
In Christ,
The Gotchers
