Will you consider adding the Tribune to your monthly budget for 2017?
There are approximately 150 churches that support the Baptist Bible Tribune on a monthly basis. For the long-term health and sustainability of our ministry, this number must be increased. Our goal is for 100 new churches to begin financially supporting the Tribune on a monthly basis in the coming year. Will your church be one of them?
1. ENCOURAGE CO-LABORERS
Every Fellowship pastor and missionary receives the Tribune monthly.
2. HONOR THOSE WHO HAVE GONE BEFORE US
Retired pastors and missionaries and their widows receive the Tribune without charge.
3. CONNECT WITH THE NEXT GENERATION
Every BBFI college student has access to the Tribune and the magazine is mailed to 46 college and university libraries across the country.
4. EQUIP PASTORS AND STAFF
Content ranges from inspirational features, to doctrinal treatise, to strategies for pastoral leadership, to prayer guides, to mission support ideas.
5. ENGAGE MEMBERS AND LAYPEOPLE
The Tribune’s content can support and enhance the pastor’s message and approach to ministry.
6. OFFER A UNIQUE PERSPECTIVE
No other publication provides insight into what God is doing among the churches and missionaries of the BBFI.
7. PROVIDE A CENTRAL DIGITAL CONNECTION
Tribune.org complements the print magazine. BBFI.org is a landing page for all BBFI entities, state Fellowships, specialty networks, corporate information, and practical resources.
8. SPEAK INTO THE WORLD OF SOCIAL MEDIA
The Communication Office manages five different social media sites. Facebook alone has over 5,000 “likes” and an average weekly reach over 12,000. We are also on Twitter, Instagram, and Vimeo.
9. INSPIRE LEADERS
The BBFI Leadership Podcasts are monthly conversations posted to encourage and inspire today’s leaders. Interviews focus on a wide range of leadership topics from dynamic leaders.
10. STAY CONNECTED ON THE GO
Within the BBFI mobile app, you can connect with any BBFI entity or Fellowship leader, you can listen to the BBFI Leadership Podcast or audio from previous National Fellowship Meetings, watch videos of previous Fellowship Meetings, read various BBFI connected blogs, search job openings, see a calendar of all upcoming national and state-level Fellowship meetings, and even read the entire Tribune. It literally puts the entire Fellowship in the palm of your hand
11. STRENGTHEN THE MINISTRY
Lord willing, the new BBFI Coaching Network will launch with the National Fellowship Meeting in February 2017. This will be a great tool for pastoral accountability and to help pastors grow in their leadership and pastoral skills.
12. SUPPORT PERSONNEL
Karri Joy Perry, Director of Office Services, has been with the Tribune since 2002. Rob Walker, Assistant Editor, has been with the Tribune since 2006. Randy Harp is the new guy on the block. He is just finishing up his first year as the new Executive Editor and Communication Director. Monthly support goes much further than just ink on paper. It also supports these families including the combined eight children, all under the age of 14.
