Since joining the BFA community in 2011, 10 years ago, BFA has become an integral and transformational part of my life, in so many ways. My Christian foundation has been solidified, I have been nurtured in the faith, to the point where I’m on fire for the Lord and my life fully surrendered to Him, and I desire to be in His presence constantly. I’ve been blessed by becoming a member of a loving, close-knit community of believers who have prayed me through so many of life’s challenges, including when I suffered a massive stroke and into my ongoing recovery and rehabilitation. I’ve made enduring friendships, and grown tremendously as a person, in confidence by stepping out of my comfort zone and emboldened to eventually become a bible study facilitator, an active member of the events team, planning BFA events, and even led others to the Lord, and testifying to His goodness. Through BFA, I’ve experienced the goodness and love of God so personally and powerfully. I’ve encountered the Lord at weekend encounters and retreats. The fragrance of the Lord pervades my home. I was baptized thanks to BFA. This ministry is filled with women of faith, who welcome all seeking the Lord, with open hearts and arms. I’m so blessed every day to be a member. The ministry has embraced friends of mine at events, in bible studies as they live out God’s love My sisters in Christ have rejoiced with me in my triumphs, cried with me in my trials and shone the light and love of God on me from I joined.
