Community

When describing BFA to others, I almost always mention how much I love the community here.  I am so blessed to have many adults pouring into, encouraging, and investing in me... while at the same time having the opportunity to do the same for peers and students.  I love seeing people using their unique gifts (teaching, living life with dorm kids, working with their hands in maintenance, managing the library, recruiting new staff, and more!) to serve the staff and students at BFA, as well as the larger missions community.

Over the past two days, all of the new BFA staff members have shared very condensed (3-5 minutes!) stories of how God has worked in their lives and brought them to this place at this time.  Some have been praying about missions opportunities and support raising for years, while others just heard about BFA in the past few months.  They have different family backgrounds and interests and personalities, but they are all passionate about serving Christ here in southwestern Germany!

One new staff member aptly described our community as "a room of miracles."  Every person at BFA has witnessed God's miraculous provision as He has put the pieces together according to His timing.  Thank YOU for being a part of the miracle God has done in my life!  I am so blessed to be serving Christ in this community.
