Who We Are
Bible Enrichment Fellowship International Church and Bible Enrichment Seminars (BES) are an extension of BAM Crawford Ministries, a non-profit corporation and is an interdenominational fellowship.
The purpose for which Crawford Ministries is formed is to exalt and magnify the name of the Lord Jesus Christ around the world.
Our desire is to reach into the communities and to help the fallen, the wounded, the discouraged, the afflicted, the bound, the uncommitted, the backslider and the unchurched by providing them with hope and direction through church fellowships where they will be accepted and able to grow in the Word of God.
This ministry is designed to work with church leaders and authorities with respect to social excellence as well as assist with the financing of outreach ministries who serve within the inner cities, by establishing shelter endowment programs for food and clothing, assist with programs of public interest and undertake those programs in cooperation with church leaders in meeting the spiritual, social and economic needs of the people who live in distressed areas.
Our objective is to maintain a spirit of close coorporation with our local churches in various cities where we establish Bible Enrichment Seminars. In addition it is our desire to maintain a spirit of love and commitment to the uncompromising Word of God and act in line with and in accordance with Kingdom building principles.
Our Fellowship
The Greek word for fellowship Koinonia means something in common or where we share, commune and have acceptance with no differences. What Christians have in common is an uncommon, sublime, personal relationship with God through Jesus Christ. Jesus is our spiritual binding force.
A crucial part of faith and one of the primary characteristics of fellowship with God is submission. Placing fellowship with others before fellowship with God creates an imbalance and develops weak, bewildered, self-limiting Believers.
We are no longer ignorant of God's plan for mankind, His Love, His provision, His protection, His healing and above all His Word. Jesus wants us to occupy until he comes because we can surely submit our futures to the will of God. We can accomplish this by bringing the saints to a level of spiritual maturity through exposure to the ministry offices and gifts that God has placed in the Church.
