World Missions Center Administration
BIMI is governed by a Board of Trustees comprised of Baptist pastors and Mission officials. This Board is responsible for establishing policies for the efficient operation of the Mission. The President and General Director is appointed by the Board to assume responsibility for the activities of the Mission.
Our current President and General Director is Dr. David Snyder. Dr. J.B. Godfrey is the Vice President and Executive Director. They work in conjunction with other administrative personnel and a dedicated support team to provide a host of services, which enable BIMI missionaries and supporting churches to operate a global mission. The multitude of administrative and financial duties necessary to meet all the needs of supporting churches and their missionaries are performed from the offices of the World Missions Center in Harrison, Tennessee.
The Board appoints Field Directors to represent BIMI before supporting churches and to monitor Mission activity on their respective fields. Special Representatives are appointed to promote various ministries of BIMI in churches and colleges across the nation and overseas.
