SPOTLIGHT
KBF Missions Offering
KBF invites you and your church to get involved with the 2012 KBFMission Offering. This year's mission offering is about hope. Your
support of this offering enables KBF to build up hope for sub-Saharan
African migrants and refugees living in Morocco. Through our
partnership with the Eglise Evangelique au Maroc (EEAM) and the
Comite d'Entraide Internationale (CEI), KBF is able to bring hope to God's people in
tangible forms through food assistance, emergency housing aid, work training
programs, medical care kits, clothing, and scholarship assistance for university
students in Morroco. How will you build up hope in the lives of sub-Saharan African
migrants and refugees living in Morocco?
Promotional materials will arrive in churches and homes in March. This year's offering
goal is $25,000 and it is timed to coincide with the KBF Spring Gathering April 20-21at Georgetown College. Click here for more information.

2012 Festival of Preachers
For the third straight year, Louisville was the host city for the National Festival of
Young Preachers. This annual event is sponsored by The Academy of Preachers, a
fresh initiative of the Lily Endowment, in collaboration with 50 founding partners,
including Kentucky Baptist Fellowship. Read two experiences from Kentucky
participants Brittany Stillwell Krebs and Zachary Bailes below. To learn more or hearsermons, click here.
Brittany Stillwell Krebs (Music Minister,
Buechel Park Baptist, Louisville, & Student at
Baptist Seminary of Kentucky)
My experience at the Festival was one of
refreshment and renewal. I listened to many
challenging sermons, participated in meaningful
worship experiences, and got to meet many new
friends also called to ministry. I enjoyed the
ecumenical nature of the festival, hearing sermons
and participating in worship styles from a variety oftraditions. I am so grateful for the opportunity to
gather with brothers and sisters in Christ from a
variety of Christian traditions who are also seeking
to fulfill their calling to ministry.

Zachary Bailes (Student at Wake
Forest Divinity School, Author of
"Crazy Liberals And Conservatives
Weblog," from Owensboro)
The National Festival of Preachers provided
the opportunity to connect with people of
different denominations while rememberingthe strong preaching tradition Baptist life
offers. For me, the Festival invigorated my
call to preaching. The Festival is more than
a time to preach and listen to preaching; it
is a time for kindred (and not-so-kindred)
spirits to gather and rekindle the hope for
the transformative power of the Good
News.
