The BBFI Mission Office is building upon the dreams and ideas of previous Mission Directors. This is possible because of their advanced vision and planning.
The vision was to relocate the Mission Office to a site where there would be space to build a new office facility as well as retirement housing for missionaries.

The results of an informal survey with various missionaries identified Springfield, MO as the desired location for these reasons.

• Both hospital systems in Springfield accept our medical plan
• Many missionaries are established with doctors in Springfield
• Commerce Bank in Springfield is used by all our missionaries
• The Mission Office would remain in Springfield and close to BBC
• There are many local churches for our missionaries to attend and serve

Mission Office investments that were made years ago performed well in 2021 to the point that it became financially possible to move forward with the vision.

Discussions were initiated with current BBFI executive officers resulting in unanimous expressions of excitement and support for the project – especially for the retired missionary housing.
The Fellowship responded with a unanimous approval at our National Meeting in May 2022 to move forward.

Recognizing the blessings of God, it was decided to gift the current Mission Office building to Baptist Bible College for the enhancementof their campus.

Although the new property for the Mission Office and housing will be 15 minutes away, it will allow for involvement on the campus of BBC in chapel,
in mission classes, leading missions emphasis days as well as teaching some mission courses.
