“My thoughts and priority goals for BSA for the next four years.
Identify top issues.
Ensure the quality of our decisions.
Increase use of on line services and electronic programs.
Modernize how we as a board communicate.
Give consideration to new ideas without change just for change.
Address information on the database without making more work for Contract office staff and volunteers, their time is limited. Secure information and protect sensitive data.
Show that we care. Improve love, fellowship and services to our Seventh day community. Determine to not offend or threaten the beliefs of others.
The Bible Sabbath Association has dedicated itself to helping Sabbath-keepers of all persuasions to learn about one another and to promote the Seventh Day Sabbath. Promoting love and fellowship among these groups and individuals is my continuing goal.
Throughout all nations of the world are millions of Christians who uphold the seventh-day Sabbath. They are diverse in race, language, and religious background. These Christians are dispersed among more than 400 denominations and over a thousand independent, local fellowships.
We need to let them know the Bible Sabbath Association loves them and wants to work with them in remembering the seventh day to keep it holy, six days you shall labor and the Seventh Day is the Sabbath of the Lord your God. This is the Sabbath that all of the people form the various Seventh Day denominations have in common.
One important thought for our planning is God’s will for us and that the Creator provided a definite day for the purpose of rest, worship and fellowship by hallowing the seventh-day at Creation and for God’s law as contained in the Ten Commandments as fundamental to any well-ordered society.
One of my goals is to take good care of the fellow Sabbath keepers who also share the love and goals of BSA in our joint purpose to bring together into one strong organization all believers in the Seventh Day Sabbath, regardless of sect, creed, or denomination, for the sole aim of spreading knowledge of, belief in, and observance of the Seventh Day Sabbath. The Bible Sabbath Association…an independent, undenominational organization promotes the Seventh-Day Sabbath of Scriptures (Bible) and creating more of a fellowship of love with the BSA reaching out to other organizations and churches who love and observe the Seventh-Day Sabbath…those we have not reached.”
