Our Missionaries
We believe that when Jesus told His disciples to
go and share His message to the entire world (Matthew
28:18-20), that He was speaking to us. CBCH
supports a number of missionaries, both here in the
U.S. and in other countries.

Greg & Violet Preston
Panama [contact Greg & Violet]
www.bbfi.org
Greg and Violet Preston returned to Panama the summer of 2004. They have found an area to
start their first church. Already there are six neighborhoods within a one and a half mile
radius. Each area has minimum of 300 homes. One area, Ciudad Futuro, has 1000 homes, and
none of these have an independent Baptist church nearby. There is not even a Catholic church
in this area. Right behind this area there is a new development going on, Las Villas, which
means "The Villages". In thirty years, the plan is to build 10,000 homes along with a sports
complex, private schools, parks, etc. This will be done in eight or so phases. The first
phase is just about half complete with homes ready to move into, while the second phase is
underway.
Greg came up with "Operation Seize The Day" because instead of seeing the day as far spent,
they see the day as just dawning here in Panama, where there are so many more souls to be
reached. "We believe that in order to make use of this dawning, we must seize the opportunity
while it is available. And we see a great opportunity in this area the Lord has laid on our
hearts".

the New Testament. They have a great love for the Turkish people and are
excited about the work with which they are involved. As they have faithfully
