CBF to partner with Habitat, World Vision

FORT WORTH, Texas — Seeking to maximize the impact of its 127 global missionaries, the Cooperative Baptist Fellowship (CBF) has announced new strategic partnerships with World Vision and Habitat for Humanity International.

Gary Baldridge, co-coordinator for Global Missions at the Atlanta-based CBF — joined by Habitat founder Millard Fuller and World Vision’s Randy Strash — announced the still-evolving arrangement at a press conference in late June.

World Vision and Habitat both bring vast resources to bolster the CBF’s global-missions program, which concentrates on ministry to the world’s least evangelized and most neglected peoples. Habitat and World Vision also believe that working with CBF personnel who are located in strategic areas can help the organizations accomplish things together that none could do alone, according to Strash and Fuller.
