V, . .W f. ... . ,- W, ., lnseparably entwined with the missionary enterprise of the Baptist Bible Fellowship International is the Missions Office located in Springfield, lVlissouri. In the late summer of 1966 a new building became the operating center of this ministry. This three-story structure marks a vast contrast with the one-room office in which the missions department started in 1950 on the newly established campus of the Baptist Bible College. The Missions Office later was located on the third floor of the College Administration Building, but continued growth necessitated moving to the new building which now accommodates the enlarged staff and has room for future growth.
