I vividly remember the introduction of BFA.
I know we all have different experiences...this was mine.
We were in Chicago and on the way to the airport to fly home. A couple who ran the LSM bookstore pointedly were showing us "HOW TO" distribute the Bibles. We were in a large van full of people from the conference. They were pushy, offensive and took great deal of pride in it! They harassed the driver 45 min to the airport. I prayed for the driver, she handled them pretty well...but it felt like SO MUCH DAMAGE. Not in love or concern...but much like the door to door Gospel...an army of drones...it was sad and depressing. I could only shake my head. To pretend that it was a simple caring for God's Word was not possible.
