Donations to BFF, items or cash, are able to get an IRS tax deductible receipt from BFF for their present value.
Many pastors overseas need functional hi-tech equipment to aid them in their ministry.
Pay for shipping and send them to:

If you have wonder whether the item is needed, or have any other questions, please send us an email or call.
BUILDING A FINANCIAL TEAM
The financial support team enables Biblical Foundations for Freedom to continue to produce and distribute training materials and provide instruction around the world.
Biblical Foundations for Freedom is dependent upon the Lord for support. Normally, our Lord uses the free will offerings of His people and honariums to provide for the needs of this ministry. Paul is the only full-time worker for BFF.
We welcome your donations!
Biblical Foundations for Freedom, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) non-profit and offers tax-deductible receipts for donations and donated items and property. An email is sent as a receipt for your donation. A tax deductible receipt will be mailed to you at the end of the year. If you donate an item like a used laptop or ipod for pastors overseas, please state clearly the name and state of the equipment and its value.
Please note what fund you are giving to. If none is mentioned, it will be put in the general fund.
-
General (general expenses and salary)
-
Missions (STM) (Short term training trips - Need about $20,000 per year)
-
Building (No building in mind but open to donations for training others)
-
Love (Charity largely used for oversea pastors, families and other ministry needs)
We recognize that God might guide you into making a financial investment in this ministry. We welcome your support.
We think it is a wise investment with great return. God has given us about 2,500 web pages in more than ten years of existence. If we would print that out, it would be at least two to three times that amount.

Those from many nations around the world constantly access this website. A pastor from Hong Kong wanted the parenting materials for his ministry over the border. African pastors are eager to train their church leaders using our materials. Truly this blessing continues because of God's clear hand upon this ministry.
Through our website and free DVDs that we give away to full-time Christian workers around the world, our materials are able to actually reach and help those who need it most. Read their comments!
While deeply appreciating your contributions, we encourage you first to give your offering to your local church and only afterwards contribute to this ministry as the Lord would lead you. Or perhaps even better, put us on your mission budget!
We have provided a BFF 2009 financial summary report that you can download to see the great things God has done and get a better feel for our financial and ministry situation. If you would like more information about BFF income or needs, please contact me (see below).
In 2010 we are running a bit below operational level. If God would lead you to give to BFF, we welcome your gift. Over the years we find God provides for our needs through so many different means.
Consider having your church get involved in this strategic form of worldwide training. BFF specializes on the training process and has many of its own training materials. Pass the blessing on! Invite Paul to make a presentation or send a powerpoint.
2010 Oversea projects
Our training of pastors, church planters and evangelists overseas requires funds above our regular budget. These trips have been very fruitful in the past. Several are planned for this year.
We plan a return trip to Africa this March. If you would like to designate your giving only to these kind of trips, please mark on the check or note in the donations made above "STM" (Short Term Missions). 100% of the donation will go to these STM projects. Thanks!
(1) Kenya & Uganda March 2010 (video)
Our African seminars were powerfully used of the Lord. The attendance doubled and so the costs went up but God provided, supernaturally, of course. Check out a movie summary or catch up from our prayer letters. Praise God the Lord provided the thousands of dollars needed.
(2) East Asia -> September 2010
Paul is planning a trip to East Asia in September. The discipleship seminars from the last two years have been tremendously helpful.
You can get a glimpse of the teaching here on these three ADT (Advanced Discipleship Training) seminars.
2010 Mission Trips to Africa and India!
Our Africa trip has been completed. We are not readying for a special mission to a more closed country. Do join in on on this key ministry of training pastors and Christian leaders.
Read or sign up to receive our prayer letter which will give you up-to-date reports on our recent activities and needs. My wife and I have eight children ranging from 30 to 8. We attend the Oakland International Fellowship in Pittsburgh where we actively serve the Lord.
If you have any questions, we would be glad to answer them by phone, letter or email. We appreciate any suggestions, advice, prayer, encouragement and support you can give us at Biblical Foundations for Freedom!
