Trying To Do Too Much, Too Soon, With Too Little

That didn’t work. Ooops, that didn’t go like I thought it would. That reaction hurts. Really, they said that? They did that? Why? Hey, I am pastor/leader around here. I thought that meant something. I think he/she/they have the problem, not me. We could go on phrasing reactive scenar...

Grow...or Die!

Grow...or Die!

Wow, that’s pretty direct. Blunt is maybe more accurate. I’ve heard the statement used in business contexts and it invites listeners to grow their organizations. Usually “growth” involves revenues, or contacts, or production, or sales in general.

I spent last Saturday with a couple heading from Canada to an overseas appointment. I’d tell you where, but the politics of the region they are heading to makes it dicey to even mention it by name. I was impressed with them. No I take that back, I was really impressed with them.

Worship...as performing art

I like viewing the arts. Art varies in the eye of the beholder but I used to really enjoy watching our kids high school choir concerts. They were always good because my kids were singing but sometimes they were just good. I can listen to a symphony but I really prefer watching it as I listen t...

Missions Project - "Blessing the Baja"


Ruth Gollings, a long time BGC missionary in Tijuana, Mexico, has three priorities in her ministry. One is to care for the women and children who experience abuse within their families, The second is to train mothers how to be good parents, and third, is to train servant leaders in churches in the region of Baja California Norte.

The Deborah House of Refuge provides shelter for survivors of domestic abuse. Women and children can live there for varying periods, usually less than 6 months. The last few months have seen 8 - 9 families using this facility which was originally built for 5 families (or 20 people) at a time.

Health and Parenting Classes are located in four areas of the poorer communities on the outskirts of the city. Ruth teaches the parents of families who are receiving scholarship assistance for their children from ChildCare Intl. She teaches parents skills, health standards, as well as evangelism - using lessons from Scripture to illustrate good and bad models.

Leadership Development in churches helps to instill some confidence because of this training. She meets with Sunday School teachers and women's leaders to encourage them.

BGCC Women's Ministries is committed to financial assistance for these ministries for the next two years. Ten percent of all our income will be sent to Ruth in order to encourage her as she serves the Lord in Mexico.
