The Moses Revelation, by Grayling Trees
Grayling Trees, a seasoned missionary to France, is fluent in both the french language and in understanding the french culture. Today during Bethany chapel, Mr. Trees took the mic and gave us a very powerful message he called the Moses Revelation.
Missions Focus: Social Entrepreneurship
“When I first begin my business as missions course,” John Depree says, “I ask the BCOM students what they think the most spiritual things you can do are. They’ll often say things like ‘reading your bible, praying, or fasting’, but by the end they change those answers to…
Practical Training: Work as Worship
The schedule of a BCOM student is usually as follows: 7-8am breakfast, 8am-12pm class/chapel, 12-1pm lunch, 1-5pm practical training, 5-6pm dinner. “But Jarred,” you might ask, “what is practical training?” Well I’m glad you asked that! Let me tell you.
Learning How to Learn: Global Internship
One of the most unique parts of the BCOM experience is global internship, a 16-month internship in another part of the world. Sitting in class one day, I remember listening to the teacher emphatically urge us to go on global internship. “It’ll change your life” he said.
Worldview with Dr. Jim Raymo
I had the pleasure of sitting down with Dr. Jim Raymo at lunch and discussing the worldview class he is currently leading the January students through. He gladly answered my questions by relaying his life experiences that showed him worldview in action.
Sharing Your Faith
A hilarious yet true video that all of us can relate to. Though it looks to be a little old, it is in fact a timeless problem for us believers. This video shows eight reasons why people don’t share their faith in America.
The End of me, and the Beginning of Him
This post was written by Rocky Pabon, a current student engaged in BCOM’s summer work program.
Every Kind of Soldier
Face it, there is no cookie-cutter personality that will win the most amount of people to the Lord. We are all one body with many parts. Some people are artists, others are athletes. Some people are trailblazers while others follow.
“The Poor, Ignorant Native in the Jungle”
In the missions world we are urged to go and spread the news of the Son of God, the only way to the Father. We believe that the one and only way to get to the Father is through believing in, and subsequently following, Jesus Christ.
The Universality of Forgiveness
Man is deeply touched by the power of forgiveness. To know that you have wronged someone and yet are in perfect standing with them is an elating feeling everyone appreciates. Everyone from every culture loves to be forgiven.
Travel the Road Missionaries on ABC Nightline and CNN
Travel the Road is an awesome production by two daring young men who love the Lord. The reason behind the show: to create awareness of the reality of Matthew 9:37-38. “The harvest is plentiful but the laborers are few…”
Word Nerd
A couple of months ago I wrote on some ways to study the Bible. I wanted to write another post, but leave this one a bit more open ended. How do we get the Word of God in our heads, and, more importantly, in our hearts?
Islam breaching the West
Islam is reaching many parts of the world, including Europe. It’s already seen in small ways here in America, despite how incongruous it is to the Western people’s mindset.
America
It is my prayer that we Christians let not America die. It is my prayer that Christians in the United States would no longer bash the United States for it’s corruption. Lord, teach us how to pray for the redemption of America. I pray that we would not give up on this nation
The Real Deal
Downtown Minneapolis. Night time. The thunder exploded in the cloudy sky as lighting flashed and rain bombarded the noisy streets. I stood under a skyway with my arms folded as I leaned against a wall.
The Israeli Belief of Christian Missionaries
A simple video I stumbled across. Notice the part when they mention Christian missionaries (at 4 minutes). Listen, reflect, pray, and comment.
