On Friday 22 March 2024, we gathered together at Sydney Opera House to celebrate the 40th Anniversary of Baptist Financial Services.
It was a special celebration as BFS remembered its humble beginnings and celebrated all the employees, directors, and clients that have made BFS the ministry it is today.
Over the past 40 years, BFS has loaned over $750 million to fund ministries, schools, and churches right across Australia and has supported and worked with over 1500 churches and ministries during that time.
BFS CEO David Slinn said that the evening was a wonderful celebration of the goodness and faithfulness of God.
“It’s amazing to look back over the achievements of four decades of our ministry and see the impact through God’s grace and provision we have made in the world.”
“What’s most exciting has been BFS’s capacity to sow back into kingdom work, with BFS distributing over $30 million to Christian organisations and ministries in grants and sponsorships since inception.”
“The BFS story has been one of diligent dedication and focus by Godly people have stewarded the gifts and abilities and the call of God on their lives as they serve ministries around Australia.“
“We‘d like to take this opportunity to honour all the past and present directors and staff of BFS as well as the clients that invest with us – they are our unsung heroes!“ he said.
