Missions

In Matthew 25:35-36, Jesus remarked, "For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, I was naked and you clothed me, I was sick and you visited me, I was in prison and you came to me."

As a church, we have a profound opportunity to address the physical and spiritual needs of those in our community and beyond. Through our support of local and global organizations, we impact our world.

We embody Jesus' love by collaborating with community partners and the homeless ministry at BEFC, we can make a meaningful impact. Let's actively engage in caring for those in need in our midst.

Your Mission:

The B.L.E.S.S. Practices

As followers of Jesus, we are called to love our neighbors.

The BLESS Practices provide practical ways to connect with and serve those who do not know Jesus.

Be in Prayer

Let's join in prayer for those who have not encountered Jesus yet.

Ask God, "How can I grow and serve to bring blessing to those in the places where you have placed me?"

Listen with Care

Engage in meaningful conversations that encourage others to share their stories and passions, guiding them towards discovering the profound truth of God's presence.

Eat Together

Engage in conversations over meals and coffee with those who have not yet encountered Jesus.

Serve in Love

Always be mindful of the chances that come your way to show care and support to those in need, as these opportunities are gifts from God.

Share a Story

After fostering a strong bond and gaining trust, it is important to seize the moment to share a powerful story of how Jesus has transformed or is currently transforming your life and the world.

Missionaries:

The mission team at BEFC seeks to glorify God by spreading the message of Christ, nurturing disciples, and expanding God's kingdom.

This is based on Acts 1:8, which says, "But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth."
