Kentucky Baptist Fellowship will receive two offerings this year in Louisville for our mission partnerships. A monetary offering will be received during both worship services which will benefit KBFs partnership in Morocco with the International Aid Committee (CEI) of the Eglise Evangelique au Maroc (The Protestant Church of Morocco). CEI leads the work of the church with sub-Saharan African migrants and refugees in Morocco.

Help Our Host Congregation!

KBF will recive a tangible offering of canned soup and all sizes of batteries for Samaritan Patrol, a ministry partner of Broadway Baptist Church. Samaritan Patrol, a part of Wayside Christian Mission, provides direct care for homeless on the streets of Louisville. We are asking those who attend to bring these items for drop off at Broadway Baptist Church during the KBF Spring Assembly.
