Donations for Biblical Foundations for Freedom (BFF)
July 2024
Dear BFF Supporters and Friends,
Thank you for your kind interest in Biblical Foundations for Freedom. We share about BFF's needs and work to enable you to discern better if God would lead you to support this ministry. God has wonderfully worked in and through BFF right up to today. Your financial support helps BFF fulfill her vision.
The diagram above shows how the Lord helps us create, distribute, and edify others through Biblical, Christian training resources to bring Him glory. BFF’s created resources can be freely distributed as God leads. Later, we will show you how this happens.
Donate $25. to BFF here, or go to our Square donation page for more options.
BFF’s history is now 24 years long! I honestly did not know where that original vision from the Lord back in 2000 would lead us. It’s intriguing to look back and observe where God has led. I could never have imagined the scope of today’s present ministry with English and international languages. Below are two charts that summarize God’s amazing work. The gigabytes (gb) of data include relevant articles, books, mp3s, videos, slides, etc. (Now 160gb.)
The Seed Project offers free resources to those in the developing world or needy situations. BFF’s resources, readership, and usage go far and wide. The Lord called me when web development was in its infancy. This year, we have exceeded 9 million page views on the two websites combined, averaging 26,000 daily page views. This does not include those accessing BFF digital libraries directly or Bible colleges printing BFF books.
BFF's Seed Project
Let me give you a recent example from a chat on WhatsApp. This pastor leads fifty other pastors in a grassroots church training ministry in Buchanan City, Liberia. After getting acquainted, I could instantly gift him access to all the digital libraries through an updated master index link, permitting him to pass them on to others in Liberia. As he asked, I’m unsure if or when I can visit him to help train his people, but God’s work continues! We praise God for His marvelous work!
God has also graced us with life-transforming Christian training resources. When traveling worldwide, I find that most pastors lack discipleship, much like Christians in our country. We offer many specialized courses and books, unleashing the truths of God’s Word. One Cameroon pastor re-taught the book/video course on Overcoming Anxiety to his people. (This is free on our BFFbible.org if you sign in.)
Another pastor whom I have visited three times, wrote earlier this year,
“I'm always doing in this Cebuano/Bisaya translation for my students pastors in the rural areas. I put the translation in your Word/doc materials and save, then print, book bind, and send to the pastors and students in different places. I'm also blessed because of your materials in the website that you have made for us here in the Philippines.” - southern Philippines
BFF's New Resources
Meanwhile, God has given us much grace to continue producing life-change Biblical resources, as seen in the diagram below.
We are a faith mission and do not know how much comes in each month. For over twenty years, God has provided! And we praise Him for His faithfulness. Our support level has dropped since the pandemic and our move. I am sharing this so that you know the BFF ministry needs. If you want to receive our monthly prayer letter, please click and sign up. Please call or chat with further questions. Right now in July, we are running about 35% our budget.
Prayerfully consider giving to BFF if you are looking for an international Biblical ministry that God uses to make a difference worldwide and at home. Thanks again for all your friendship and support over these many years.
In Christ's Majestic Love,
Rev. Paul J. Bucknell,
BFF’s President, Author, and Instructor
