We welcome you to our first ever blog. Please stay tuned as we endeavor to keep you all up to speed on our German adventure.
God has been amazing as He continues to open doors for our service to missionary families at Black Forest Academy in Kandern, Germany.
We believe BFA is a critical piece of God's plan to bring the Gospel to the world. We believe God has clearly called us to BFA.
BFA serves about 300 missionary kids, whose parents are serving the Lord in fifty countries across the world. Many families are on mission in places that range from the dangerous to the inhospitable.
Missionary families take their children's education very seriously. Without proper provision of good educational opportunities, many missionary families would have to leave the mission field and return to the states. That's where BFA steps in.
Black Forest Academy offers an English language, college-preparatory, American-style, boarding school education from a deeply Christian perspective. And, with a tuition and boarding cost structure that is affordable to missionary families on tight budgets.
Virtually all BFA staff serve through the grace of God and prayer and financial support of those who partner along side.
We are currently meeting with and seeking out people willing to partner with us in this ministry.
Fact is, without financial support, we cannot go to Germany. BFA is very disciplined about this process. We must have all of our start-up expenses raised and in-hand and at least 90 percent of our ongoing monthly support committed before we are permitted to buy plane tickets.
We hope you will pray for us in this support raising matter, and, if you feel led, please support us financially. You can make a one-time gift or pledge monthly support by contacting us or by directly contacting our sending mission agency, TeachBeyond.
