In 1999 Larry Geraldson came to Quebec during a Maximum Impact evangelization and ask if I want to be part of the BMA. We already planted three churches in Haiti by that time, and he asked what he could do to help us out. I said “You could put some gas in my car for visitation!” Through that, he invited me to go to Little Rock, Arkansas, to a symposium meeting, then he call me back to Arkansas to appear before the committee at the national meeting.

Baptist Missionary Association. These are the three words used to represent us collectively. We are Baptist and we are Associated; those go without question. It’s that middle word, ‘Missionary’, that sometimes causes a bit of dissonance between the ideal and real. Would you say that ‘Missionary’ accurately represents what your church is about? More personally, does it accurately represent what you are about?

With humble beginnings and a great focus on God’s mission, BMA Global began in 1950 through the efforts of the churches of the newly formed Baptist Missionary Association of America (NABA at the time). That first year, there were six North American church planters and two international missionaries elected. All glory to God, that through the years of faithfulness and focus on that great mission, BMA Global has grown to a ministry of over 400 missionaries working in 70 countries of the world.
