What is the VISION of BFBC: 

“Revealing a Friend" to this REGION 

* This is our “MISSION STATEMENT” 

BFBC:  is a Church as a Force mentality - The church is PEOPLE -  who are equipped TO SERVE kingdom purposes  

Isaiah 54:3 [KJV]  "For thou shalt break forth on the right hand and on the left; and thy seed shall inherit the Gentiles, and make the desolate cities to be inhabited." 

 

Matt 9:35-36 [NKJV] "Then Jesus WENT about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every sickness and every disease among the people. But when He saw the multitudes, He was moved with compassion for them, because they were weary and scattered, like sheep having no shepherd."  

Without a vision … we struggle  

With a vision … we flourish -  we achieve success, and fulfill our God-given ASSIGNMENTS 

It takes OPERATING IN FAITH for a VISION to come to pass 

Hebrews 11:1  Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. 

[TPT]  Now faith brings our hopes into reality and becomes the foundation needed to acquire the things we long for. It is all the evidence required to prove what is still unseen. 

Vance Havner said, “The vision must be followed by the venture. It is not enough to stare up the steps – we must step up the stairs.” 

Mark 9:23 [NLT]   “What do you mean, ‘If I can’?” Jesus asked. “Anything is possible IF a person believes.” 

We are to HEAR THE PROPHETIC WORD – CATCH THE VISION OF IT – SEE IT THROUGH THE EYE OF FAITH – REFUSE TO GIVE UP until it comes to pass 

Genesis 15:5-6   Then the Lord took Abram outside and said to him, “Look up into the sky and count the stars if you can. That’s how many descendants you will have!” 6 And Abram believed the Lord, and the Lord counted him as righteous because of his faith. 

Proverbs 2:2 [TPT]  So TRAIN your heart to listen when I speak …  

Proverbs 4:21 [TPT]  Fill your THOUGHTS with my words until they penetrate deep into your spirit. 

4 Then my father taught me, saying, “Never forget my words. [GW Translation: “Cling to my words wholeheartedly”]  IF you do everything that I teach you, you will reign in life.”  

Josh Pennington said, “It is one thing to see a vision. It’s another thing to be seized by a vision.”
