Lost people matter to God!

Lost people matter to God.  He came to redeem mankind and “to seek and to save that which is lost” (Luke 19:10).  As we have had an amazing year of outreach to the lost and hurting, literally around the world, we have been changed, and so has hundreds and thousands of lives.  I praise God that BCC knows that lost people matter to God, and that our vision is the vision of Christ, to help people find Salvation through Jesus, and that our vision is validated because we live it!  I am thankful for the faithfulness and generosity of God’s people here at BCC.  From the Faith Promises that are freely given monthly, to those that have gone on trips, locally and globally, to those who sacrifice and give an offering of love to special needs and our mission guests, and to the consistent weekly support of prayer and finances in every way.  We are blessed!

As we continue our Global missions in 2-0-1-0 we will also have the wonderful opportunity to touch Toledo, with another BCC campus.  I know we are going to see many people saved, and set free by the power of Christ at this Campus.  We will see families touched, children and youth discipled, and the Lord glorified. We are going to double the effectiveness at 2 sites to; love God, love people, and serve the world.   I appreciate the vision and faith of our leadership, and all of us to apply fearless faith, and to move forward with courage and boldness.   It is exciting!  My prayer is that God will continue to use us, to help others love Him, love others, and serve the World.

This journey of faith will accomplish His purposes!  “Greater Things are Still to Come!”

FAITH PROMISE...Is a way of giving to world evangelism rather than waiting to respond to individual appeals as they come along, believers ask the Lord how much they should give to missions over the next year.  They then commit to that annual total as a "Faith Promise."  Faith Promise thus makes mission giving strategic rather than sporadic.  The key is to be obedient to what God tells you to give and then watch Him provide it through your hands.
