OUR MISSIONARIES
Missions is an important part of church life. Missionaries are endorsed, commissioned, sent out from a local church and supported for their work in the Lord in answer to His Great Commisson in Matthew 28:19-20 where Jesus said, "Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost; Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and lo, I Am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen".
We at OBBC are an Independent Fundamental Baptist Church and therefore we choose our own missionaries. Some are supported because of their specific work, others were trained up, called, and sent out from our church. All are our family and we hold them close to us in prayer and financial support.
Below is some short bios of our extended family.

Bill & Lenni Ogden
Bill Ogden was born in New Jersey, where his family is active in the Old Bridge Baptist Church. Bill graduated from Columbia Bible College and Seminary in 1968, married Lennie (Laura) Norwood (CBC’68) and joined South America Mission. Their first term of service began in Peru in September of 1969. The Ogdens worked at the school for missionaries’ children in Pucallpa, on an Indian station, and at the Bible Institute while in Peru. In 1975 Bill became Campus Representative for South America Mission and traveled extensively for the Mission in the United States. Bill also served as Candidate Secretary until 1980. In August of 1980 the Ogdens moved to Santa Marta, Colombia where they led a church planting team. There is a vital growing church, La Comunidad Christiana La Esperanza, as a result of that team. Due to serious illnesses of the Ogden’s youngest son, born in Colombia, they returned to the US in 1984. Bill served as Special Teams Coordinator and then as Director for Overseas Operations before becoming Executive Director in July of 1993. The Ogdens have three sons. W. Kirk Ogden, Jr. and his family live in Charlottesville, Va., where Kirk is Mobilization Director for South America Mission. Timothy Ogden and his wife Catherine also live in Charlottesville, Va. Christopher is a student at Palm Beach Community College in Lake Worth.
