I love how BSF is focused on heart application, not behavior modification. We focus on key doctrines that unite believers from all backgrounds. In the leadership circle, we get to learn to carry our cross and fight sin in our life. We see how Prayer and fasting bridge heaven and earth and participate in divine appointments. We practice praying, trusting God for all our needs (ACTS Prayer: Adoration, Confession, Thanksgiving, Supplications). Our theme for Acts is Unstoppable: Resurrected Jesus taught them about the kingdom of God.
