How exciting to see our team of North American church planters increasing! We officially welcomed five new BMA Global church plants recently at the BMA National Meeting. This brings our team to a total of 20 in eight different languages (English, French, Spanish, Russian, Urdu, Arabic, Garifuna, and Ukrainian). These church plants are being sent out by their sending churches with their prayers, support, and ongoing oversight.
