In 1882 D.L. Moody held one week of meetings at Cambridge University. Within two years the “Cambridge Seven” committed themselves to foreign missions. It was not a cheap commitment. In February, 1885, the Seven sailed together for China. One news reporter wrote, “Never before in the history of missions has so unique a band set out to labor in the foreign field.”

Some of us have begun to pray for “90 by 90” - 90 BBC members entering short-term or vocational ministry or missions between January 1, 1984, and January 1, 1990. Join us. As the vision grows we will be saying more.

Mobilizing the troops with you,

Pastor John
