As you will see throughout this site, God has truly blessed BBC&TS with progress toward achieving this goal, not with the intent of seeking the praise and adoration of mankind, but to prepare as many as possible to serve the Lord as we press forward to fulfill the Great Commission: "Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe everything that I have commanded you. And remember, I am with you always, to the end of the age," (Matthew 28:19-20).
