Many issues and circumstances of Blessed Families are common throughout our membership, but they do not lend themselves to being handled region by region. These areas have been identified and the BFD has created many National Level Ministries as resources for helping and supporting all the regions and all the membership and families. The current list of ministries is below but we expect that more may be developed in the future.

Each ministry is centered around one person or one couple that is a precious volunteer called by God. These brothers and sisters have come forward and believe that God has called them to serve through a personal calling in a particular area. They have special gifts in that area, advanced training or education, or particular spiritual victories in their lives that allow them be very helpful and supportive to others facing similar challenges.

All Regional Directors, Vice-Regional Directors, State Leaders, and members are sincerely encouraged to contact these National Coordinators of BFD Ministries DIRECTLY. You do not need to contact the BFD office first. At all times the complete list can be found on the BFD website which is located at: http://www.familyfed.org/bfd .

Contact information will be located on the BFD website. Leaders and members may telephone or email directly to the National Coordinators. If possible, please ask members to also contact the BFD Representative for their Region.

Plan local meetings and workshops to help and support your members. Invite the National Coordinators to come and share with members. This can bring new hope and God's inspiration to many and it will get members together working on common concerns and taking ownership. (Because the Nat'l Coordinators are volunteers, we ask that you help with their travel expenses and accommodations.)

New ministries will be added and each ministry will over time be posting useful and valuable information. The more you are familiar with these resources, the better to help others.
