February 2026 BFM Updates

 Hey Friends,

Thanks for joining me here on the blog for a moment of your day. We are so thankful for every reader who checks in to see what's happening with us. 

I cannot express our sincerest gratitude to every friend of Boggs Family Ministries. Your friendship, prayers and support have helped us immensely! We thank you from the bottom of our hearts!

Our ministry looks much different without our founder and fearless leader. Davy Boggs will forever be missed! Mom and I are trying our best to carry out his vision for Boggs Family Ministries.  

Our mission is to reach our nation and beyond with the life-changing gospel of Christ. 

We are still supporting our Brothers and Sisters in Christ in Nigeria. Click HERE to read some of our backstory and our friendship with Nigeria. 

GoodNews Christian School in Nigeria is a passion project for our family. Dad committed to helping them build a new wing to the school. We have continued that commitment. With the help of many of you the school building is progressing.

We want to see the wing finished and furnished. We also love to help with the support of the teachers. Click HERE to see the latest school update. 

They have always put our donations to good use. Over 200 children are receiving a Godly education. The staff work tirelessly for minimal pay. We are thrilled to be a small part of their ministry!

Mom and I also enjoy ministering through music. We are thankful for every pastor who invites us to minister in their services! It is a blessing to work alongside them in whatever capacity they desire. 

We are often asked if there are ways to donate to BFM online. PayPal had been our only option for online giving. 

Now we have two more options available. BFM is now on Venmo search for BoggsFamilyMinistries.

On Cash App you can find BFM by searching bfmboggs.

We are in no way begging for donations! I am just trying to answer the questions of those wanting to support BFM. All donation to Boggs Family Ministries can be tax deductible. We are an official 501c3 ministry. 

Thank you! May God bless you!

GoodNews Nigeria School November 25 Update

 Hey Friends,

It is Thanksgiving week, and we have something to be thankful for! Mom recently received an update on the school in Nigeria from our dear friends! 

They are making great progress on the new school building! They shared some pictures with us, which we can share with you all.

Mom and I are so thankful that Boggs Family Ministries has been able to continue Dad's vision in helping the GoodNews Christian School.  We have been able to help them build this building, because of the faithfulness of God and the graciousness of God's people!

Thank you Lord and thank you to our friends! Please join us in praising God for this milestone! If you would like to be a part of helping us support the work of GoodNews Christian School, please let us know!

GoodNews Christian School Update

 Hey Friends,

Recently Mom received an update message from Nigeria. They are making great progress on the new school building. 

Phase 3 is currently underway. They are now working on the top floor! We are thrilled for our dear friends!

This is a project and ministry that was near and dear to my Daddy's heart! He loved this Christian School and its mission to educate children. Most of all to teach them about Christ. 

Boggs Family Ministries and our friends have supported the GoodNews Christian School since the beginning. Dad had already committed to helping with their latest building project, before his passing. 

Mom and I wanted to keep BFM's commitment to GoodNews. We are thankful to report, God has blessed us! Many of you have helped us continue donating to their school!

They want Mom to come for the dedication of the new building. They want to honor Dad. Mom and a Boggs Family Ministries Team were scheduled to go in November. 

A few weeks ago Mom decided to postpone the Nigeria trip this year. We still have questions about my ongoing health issues, and I may need surgery later this fall. Mom thought it was best not to continue planning the trip for now. 

Please continue to join us in praying for our precious friends in Nigeria. They are our family in God. We desire for Him to bless and help them daily! May God bless and use the ministry of GoodNews Christian School to touch countless lives for the kingdom of God. 

Thanks for reading. God bless you! I will close with the updated pictures of phase 3.

Dorcas and Dad In A Dream

Hey Friends,

Thank you for stopping by on this beautiful Tuesday. Did you catch yesterday's post? I shared an update on the latest GoodNews Christian School building project. You can see that post by clicking here.

Recently, I was compiling the photos for yesterday's post when I came across a picture of my dad and our precious friend Dorcas from Nigeria. 

Many of you all remember Sis. Dorcas. She was saved during one of the outdoor crusades my dad preached in Nigeria. He told her testimony for years. Dorcas drug herself through the dirt and grass to the altar, because she knew she needed Jesus! Actually, she did it two nights in a row until she felt like she got what she needed.

It greatly moved our family! When Dad realized her condition and that she was dragging herself to the altar, he got down and crawled to meet her!

I was on that trip, and I was able to meet Dorcas. We gained a friend for life! 

She actually became an honorary member of our family. She called my parents, mom and dad, me her sister and even wrote letters to my grandparents calling them grandma and grandpa. It really was special! Each trip that my parents made back to Nigeria She would have gifts waiting on them. Also sending some home for me. We would exchange video greetings through my parents during their trips.

Dorcas became my hero! She had to overcome tremendous obstacles to live with her disabilities in Nigeria. No other country makes life easy on someone with a disability like America does. We tried to help her with wheelchairs and other things. 

Every single day was more of a struggle for her than I could ever imagine. She lived life with a smile on her face and was thrilled to be a Christian. I know her life was never easy!

My parents were with her during their 2023 trip in Nigeria. She sent handwritten letters home with them. 

Shortly after their trip, Dad had a stroke. Later, we found out Dorcas had her own sickness, around the same time. God chose to call her home. Dad wrote a post about it here.

Our hearts were broken to lose one of our Nigerian family members! Yet we also rejoiced, knowing that she no longer had the struggles that life had given her. In Heaven, she would be completely healed! She would never suffer again.

Less than a year later, Dad joined her in Heaven. I knew that is one of the many people he would be reunited with! I rejoice knowing that they are worshiping our Lord together.

I hope you are ready for the story of a dream. A few weeks ago, I had a fleeting dream of Dad. I have had a handful of those through the months. Most of the time, I do not remember all the details. They are usually over before I realize what's going on.

On this one occasion, I had a quick dream in which I knew Dad and Dorcas were both in the location. I do not remember details of the location. It was shocking really, because I did not remember thinking of Dorcas before my dream. I did not get to speak to her. 

In the dream, I talked to my dad. He said your sister is healed. She  does not need her wheelchair anymore! I knew that he was meaning my Nigerian sister, Dorcas!

In an instant, the dream was over. I woke up rejoicing, knowing that they both were healed! No more wheelchairs, or any of the aids to help them live life. I was happy for the reminder that there struggles were over. 

The ache of missing them was there strongly! I am so grateful for the blessed hope and the promise that we will see them again! I look forward to the day that we can all be together in Heaven.

Thank you for reading, as I share what is on my mind today.

GoodNews Christian School July 2025 Update

Hey Friend,

Thank you for taking the time out of your busy day to visit us! We are always thrilled when someone checks in.

Our faithful readers will recall that our ministry has been supporting Pastor Shobanke and his family's work in Nigeria for years. Our families have shared a close bond for many, many years! 

Dad sure loved his people in Nigeria! Some of his happiest times in his life were spent there, and he was always looking for another chance to visit!  

One project was his passion from the first time we heard about it: Goodnews Christian School! The photos above were from a previous visit

Because of the Lord's provision and the giving of many saints of God, BFM has been involved in many projects at the school! Many of you have played a significant part in those projects!

Before his passing, Dad was excited to help them pay for the construction of a new school building. We have carried on his vision, and you all have helped us.

Construction on the new school building has continued. With the Lord's help, they are moving right along! I know my dad would be thrilled! Hopefully, it will be ready for dedication late this year.

A few days ago, Mom received an email from Pastor Shobanke. She sent it to me so I could share the pictures with you all. It is wonderful to see the progress!

 May God continue to bless and help our precious Brothers and Sisters in Abeakuta, Nigeria! They are wonderful people! Mom and I are thrilled to be a tiny part in this project.

Once again, thank you to each and everyone of you who have donated to BFM, and helped us with this project! Countless lives will be touched because of your generosity!

Sincerely,

Odie

40th Anniversary Of Davy and Kelly Boggs

Hey Friends,

Happy Sunday! Today is a very special day. I have written a few words below, but Mom has written the bulk of this post. I hope you enjoy it!

Happy 40th wedding anniversary to the best parents in the whole wide world! I watched you live out your marriage vows! You were together in the good times and in the bad! You loved each other through it all! 

Daddy, I love you and I miss you! I know you are having the best day ever! Thank you for being the example of a Godly husband and an awesome provider!

Mama, I love you and I am so proud of you! Today is still a day worth celebrating! 40 years is a marvelous milestone and you made it almost all the way! You were committed to Dad until the very end!

Please keep scrolling there's even more to come! I know you are going to  enjoy hearing from Mom!

40 years ago, I had no clue of the adventure my life was going to become. I was a kid with only an imagination of what life with Davy Boggs would be like. 

On June 29, 1985, we stepped out into the great unknown and began our life together.

As a child I loved traveling for vacation with my parents. I guess they didn’t know they were equipping me for my future.

Davy has taken me around the world in ministry and in travel for relaxation and recuperation. I cannot remember all the years he had traveled and preached over 300 nights a year.

He loved to take me to explore new places whether it be churches or National Parks or foreign countries. We shared a great love of travel.

I lost Davy on this road of companionship a few months short of 40 years. Now my journey has changed a bit. 

I am having to explore and travel in a different way without him beside me leading the way or cheering me on.

As I plan something for the future. I will never stop traveling with him in my heart and mind.

I hear his caution, advice and feel his affirmation as I try to go on. I am grateful for the 40 years he took care of me and I will always carry him with me.

I will celebrate this anniversary being grateful for Davy, a wonderful husband, friend and road warrior.

I want everyone to know how good he was to me.

I give glory to God for giving me Davy for the time I had him.

God is So Good.
