Have you ever tried to play soccer barefooted? That’s what many of the children in the Eastern Cape end up doing. Soccer cleats are hard to come by and not affordable. Do you have any used cleats that have been outgrown? The BCC mission team going to South Africa in October is collecting gently used soccer cleats to take with them to share with the children there. What a wonderful way to share with those in need as well as cleaning out all those old shoes that no longer fit! Please bring the cleats by the BCC Outward Ministries office or lobby station and be a part of the team!
We will be collecting cleats each Sunday until September 22nd.

Cash for Corn

In Malawi and neighboring African countries, “gogo” is the local word for grandmother/grandfather.
The devastation of the AIDS pandemic in Africa has changed the health and economics of nations and the grandmothers must raise their orphaned grandchildren. Gogo Grandmothers help these grandparents in Malawi by providing seed and fertilizer for the maize crops. These crops provide food for an entire year.
All funds raised from Cash for Corn will provide seed and critical applications of fertilizer to assure a good corn (maize) crop in the coming season. In this way, we get to participate in what God is doing as He provides food for a gogo (grandmother) and her orphaned grandchildren.
Cash for Corn bottles are available in the lobby on September 8th & 15th, at the Missions Station in the lobby. Please pick one up and fill with cash, checks, or change. Return the bottles on September 22nd & 29th in the lobby. Checks should be made payable to “Gogo Grandmothers.”

Come grab breakfast and hear from Johnny Powell, LCSW, and InterServe about how mental health services are helping missionaries persevere while serving abroad in challenging environments.

We are in the early stages of launching our Employment Ministry as part of our GoLocal initiative, which aims to provide assistance to specific populations of people in the Northern VA area who experience higher than normal barriers to employment.
While our main focus is equipping our clients with the resources and ability to navigate the current job market, we are interested in involving business owners within the church in this process. The perspective and involvement of business owners is invaluable to us as a ministry as we advocate for our clients and assist them in the necessary steps towards sustainable employment.
We are holding an interest meeting on Monday, October 28th, at 6:30PM in classroom 1005 for business owners within the congregation to learn more about our program and how you can be involved! Please RSVP HERE.
