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

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.
