International Partners and Friends at the BGAV Annual Meeting | 2022

“Reunited and it feels so good!”

This year the BGAV Annual Meeting is once again an in-person, international affair. Long-standing partners and friends from around the world will be with us in Hampton to share fellowship, mutual inspiration, and brainstorming future collaborations. Come to the Impact Missions mission fair booth to spend time with Emmanuel Mustapha, Executive Director of the Global Missions Resource Center in Northeastern Ghana.  

Walter Klimt, General Secretary of the Austria Baptist Union, will be joining us, as well as Dr. Andrea Klimt, Rector of the German Baptists’ Institute of Theology in Elstal, Germany.  

Will Cumbia will be here from Vienna, Austria; Will serves as the BGAV’s Field Coordinator for our focus:refugees partnership and is the Coordinator for Migration Issues for the European Baptist Federation.  

Dr. Nabil Costa is coming from Beirut, Lebanon where he is the Executive Director of the Lebanese Society for Educational and Social Development.  

Finally, we want to mention a first-time visitor to the BGAV: Juan Pablo Belmonte lives in Bolivia and is the Field Liaison Manager at Food for the Hungry. Food for the Hungry is our focus:poverty partner in Nicaragua.
