Over the last few months, I have traveled across the commonwealth speaking at KBC EQUIP conferences, associational meetings and church services, presenting the services of the Kentucky Baptist Foundation (KBF). At each stop I have been warmly greeted and welcomed by all. There is nothing like a Baptist meeting and the sweet fellowship of brothers and sisters in Christ.
After sharing the opportunities that the KBF provides churches through the Short Term Fund (STF), one church leader in Owensboro said, “I like keeping our church’s money in the family.” That is the beauty of investing with the KBF. Our STF rate of return is 4.25% — with the ability to withdraw at any time. Plus, knowing your investments are socially screened gives confidence to church members that their congregation is promoting Christian values.
The KBF will introduce Great Commission Certificates (GCC) for individuals at the KBC Annual Meeting. I look forward to sharing about the GCC program during my KBF President’s Report at 11:25 a.m. on Tuesday.
The GCC is another powerful way to combine financial stewardship with spiritual impact. By investing in these certificates, your funds actively support ministries and advance the gospel. Your investment will help provide resources to churches, meet physical and spiritual needs, and extend the kingdom.
I encourage Kentucky Baptist churches and individuals to “Keep It in the Family” and invest with the KBF. Become a “missional investor” and help advance the kingdom of God. The STF and GCC programs allows Kentucky Baptists to multiply their investment and spread the gospel.
