A Tribute to Larry French
My memories of Larry and Lilian French started in 2006 at Baptist Church Planters when we were building an addition to the mission office in Grafton, Ohio. Baptist Missionary Builders was asked to manage that building project, and Larry was assigned as the lead builder for the project. Since that time Larry and Lillian have played an important part of the ministries of Baptist Church Planters and ChurchCare. The French’s began their ministry as missionaries with Baptist Missionary Builders. In September 2010 the BMB builders were merged into Baptist Church Planters/ChurchCare and Larry and Lillian were approved as BCP missionaries assigned to ChurchCare for the building ministry.
Larry’s ministry, including the BMB years and the ChurchCare years, included the following projects:
-
Harvest Baptist Church, Bath, NY
-
Camp Tishomingo, Show Low, AZ
-
Victory Baptist Church, Reading, PA
-
Community Regular Baptist Church, Bussey, IA
-
Boardman Baptist Church, Youngstown, OH
