To our Brothers and Sisters in Boston and around the world!
We are excited to inform you that the Boston Church has established the
Beam Missions Foundation to assist organizations and congregations in
our collective efforts to evangelize the world. This Foundation is
being initially funded by an $11 million gift from Tom & Ada Beam,
and will seek to become an international repository for funds dedicated
to this cause. Tom and Ada lived in Oklahoma City, and upon Ada's
death in 2004, designated the Boston church as a beneficiary of their
estate because of the exciting and extensive church plantings that have
defined the Boston Church's history.
The Beam Missions Foundation is under the oversight of the Boston
Eldership which composes its board of directors, but will function as a
separate public charity and will seek to fund high impact mission
efforts around the world. It will operate with a global perspective,
and will fund individual efforts, church efforts, and regional Mission
Society efforts to reach the lost in every nation. Valdur Koha has
been asked to take on the role of the Executive Director. The Beam
Missions Foundation is seeking to work with financial experts and
missions leaders from around the world to develop a highly effective
missions foundation.
Tom and Ada Beam led a humble and sacrificial life that was
characterized by generosity and a passion to see God's word spread to
all nations. The Elders of the Boston Church are striving to see that
Tom and Ada's dream and sacrifice are leveraged to save the largest
number of people possible. We are deeply grateful for their trust and
invite you to rejoice with us as God continues to open new doors to a
lost world.
