The record amount was promised in services on Tuesday morning, September 28. According to BBFI associate mission director Loran McAlister, who coordinates the Missionary Projects Offering, the budget for the projects is a continual process.
Missionaries submit projects to be included throughout the year.
They are evaluated, approved and added to the budget. When the funds are received, they are forwarded and the church or home gets built. Almost 500 buildings have been built in the last six years. Projects Offering promotion begins in May Each year during the May Graduation Fellowship Meeting, mission director Bob Baird kicks off promotion of the Projects Offering with a luncheon for BBFI state representatives. They are informed of the projects budget and the goals that have been set.
