A Big Vision
Life in the Multi Site ministry has been crazy, but man has it been fun. In the last 20 months we have started four new BAF Multi Site Campuses and all are doing really well. A lot of people would be ready to sit back and take a rest, but Bil’s on fire for Multi Site and he’s spent over 200 hours in prayer asking God what He wants us to do. In his prayer time Bil is absolutely sure God wants us to push forward with a huge vision and just trust Him with the money, people, and places. So that’s exactly what we’re doing.
In this vision we have seven locations where we want to put BAF Campuses, and we want to do it in a very short period of time. Part of what we are doing in the process is restructuring the entire Multi Site Ministry. I’m very excited about the vision in front of me because it will challenge me to take my leadership to a whole nutha level! I’ve never done what is in front of me, and that excites me. The cool thing about this vision is, it makes absolutely no sense and just couldn’t happen if it wasn’t from God, but Bil has prayed over 200 hours about it, so we’re going to trust God and move forward with it. Man I love that crazy faith zone!
I’m really excited about all this but trust me, there are times when I look at the size of this vision and wonder what God was thinking when He chose a guy to lead it who walked without his Son for 37 years, has no seminary training, or any church experience at all prior to coming to BAF. But for some reason God chose me to lead this thing, so I’m going to have to trust He knows what He’s doing 
As we pursue this big vision I am so thankful for the amazing team God has surrounded me with, because without them, I couldn’t even come close to pulling this off. This is an amazing group of leaders who without exception have this vision deep in their hearts. Jason Curlee, Dave Cotham, Rudy Garcia, Randy Bryan, David Flores, Joey Davila, Kyrah Hopkins, and our newest Campus Pastor for the Westside whose name I don’t want to reveal until he’s had time to tell his family and friends. This is one seriously amazing team and I cannot put into words how thankful I am for each of them!
It’s going to be a crazy ride so if you’re reading this and you’re a part of BAF, we need your help. Get in contact with us and we will find a way to get you involved. This will take a body of believers joining together as a team to start all these amazing campuses where people can gather to experience the life change that only comes from a relationship with Jesus. We need you on our team.

I am super pumped about what god has in store for BAFA as well as all the campuses, established, new and coming!
John is right! We need volunteers! We need believers who have a heart for God, a big passion for people and the stick-to-itness that a ministry of this magnitude requires.
Will it be easy? No. God never promised us that our spiritual walk with him, our ministries would be without obstacles. But he has given us a blue print on how to deal with & overcome those obstacles. He also promised us that..”"He who began a good work in you…will carry it on to completion…” Phillipians 1:6
Our heavenly father knows us MUCH better than we know ourselves. He knows our strengths AND our weaknesses. Thereis nothing he will not bring us to…that he will not help bring us through!
So, open your planner, datebook, agenda or whatnot. Look at what is being put 1st. Seek the Lord and ask him what he wants you to do? EVERYONE has a calling on their life! EVERYONE has a place in God’s kingdom! He doesn’t want us to sit back and be spectators and wait for that day in Glory! He wants us to be active NOW! Let’s Be Effective For HIM!
