Bo Pilgrim Recognized for 25 Years of Workplace Evangelism by American Bible Society
The award recognizes Mr. Pilgrim's decision to use the name Good News for Modern Man in his evangelistic outreach, his constant commitment to the communication and application of the message of the Bible, and his devotion to seeing lives transformed by Scripture.

The Rev.
Mr. Pilgrim commented, "I'm humbled to have received this award. The Lord has blessed me in countless ways throughout my life, and it has been an honor to share His Good News with so many people over the years. When I was a young boy I promised Him that if I ever amounted to anything, I would give Him the credit, and I'm still committed to that promise."
