BCM is a global Bible-Centered Ministry dedicated to making disciples of all age groups for the Lord Jesus Christ through evangelism, teaching and training so that churches are established and The Church strengthened.

We minister through evangelism, church planting, discipleship, leadership training and publishing Bible curriculum and teaching materials. We also provide Bible Clubs, camping, counseling, and compassionate care. BCM strives to make an impact in the world through Reaching Children and Developing Churches Worldwide.

If you’re interested in getting to know their ministry, you might read the article titled The Faces of BCM International in their May newsletter.

Here’s a brief excerpt:

In India last June, a BCM India missionary/pastor was beaten, head shaved (a gesture of contempt in the culture), then dumped in the river for dead. Miraculously rescued, he was evacuated to the BCM Hyderabad Center where he and his family were offered sanctuary as he recovered from his injuries. When I visited with him a month later, he was already preparing to go back to continue sharing the gospel.

The Camp Good News Blog

Wednesday, July 9th, 2008

CampGoodNewsEver wondered what the day to day operations of a camp are like? The people over at Forest Glen Camps have been blogging about their summer camps over at Camp Good News.

You can catch up on everything from the food they’re eating:

Lunch followed with corn dog, tater tots, pineapple with a salad bar. It’s always fun to see who can eat the most corn dogs at camp. And we just gotta love those tater tots! After our bellies were all full, the campers laid their little heads down for rest so that they could re-energize and then head to canteen.

To what God is doing:

God is really doing some awesome things at camp this week. There are some really cool bonds that are forming and relationships that will last a life time! We pray that this will continue outside of camp and on! Thank you for letting your kids come to camp and experience something new!

Personally, I’d hate to see the aftermath of a corndog eating competition! Camp is a wonderful thing, full of oddities and intense spiritual experiences. We’re looking forward to hearing more about what the summer has in store for Forest Glen Camps.

Tuesday, February 12th, 2008

How do you share the love of God with young kids? The Jest Kidding ministry uses every means at their disposal—the internet, storytelling, conferences, magic and juggling workshops, and more to communicate the Gospel message to boys and girls… and to “kids” of all ages! In today’s interview, we talk to Sheldon Rhodes, the Director of Jest Kidding, about what makes this unique ministry tick:

The Jest Kidding website has lots of resources for kids’ ministry—it’s a place for kids to learn about Jesus, and for parents to help their kids online, at church and at home. Whether you’re a kid or just a “kid at heart,” take a look!
