Development
In 2010, MFD was reformatted to an all-day event to enable visitors more time to visit the exhibition, fellowship together and still have time to head off to an evening event elsewhere.

Facilities
MFD is extremely fortunate to have use of the excellent facilities provided by West Wickham and Shirley Baptist Church, providing disabled facilities, induction loop and ample free parking next to the church. Bus and mainline train services are nearby. MFD has no connection with the church which is used by kind permission.

Practice
In accordance with New Testament practice, missionary brethren are invited to speak publicly and are often accompanied by their wives who are available to speak to visitors during the free-time. (All delegates and their wives wear name badges)

Funding
MFD is funded by local assemblies each year to meet all running costs. Therefore 100% of the sizeable offering taken on the day is given to the missionaries attending the event.
