Princeton resident Jill Boddy recently received the Kentucky Baptist Convention Missions Service Core Missionary of the Year Award for 2023.
This award was presented to Boddy in recognition of her dedication and service to others through service to her Lord in her daily life. She was nominated for the award by a group of fellow missionaries who have witnessed her commitment and willingness to serve in various ministries. Letters of support were sent to the Mission Mobilization Team of the Kentucky Baptist Convention which decided to present her with the award.
Boddy may be known locally as the Office Administrator for HR Ministries for the past 6.5 years but her role as a Missionary is a totally separate calling in her life. She stated she answered the call to serve with the Missions Service Core in 2019 and added the role as a self-supported position which means she receives no financial support.
