Passionate Worship at the Asian Concert of Prayer

Here at the BCM/D we believe prayer is pretty important (as if you didn’t already know). That’s why we were ecstatic when 200 people from different cultures and different linguistic backgrounds gathered to pray with us this September at our Asian Concert of Prayer. Surrounded by powerful praise, we prayed aloud in four different languages, including Korean, Chinese, Filipino, and Vietnamese.

The event was held on September 13th at Hanuri Korean Church in Silver Spring, MD. Twenty-five churches from across Maryland and Delaware were represented. Was your church one of them?

Thanks to Robert Kim, BCM/D Missionary for Asian Church Planting and Evangelism, and everyone who helped plan the event. It was stellar!

Mujeres Hispanas Retreat

Our 3rd Hispanic retreat for women saw over 60 ladies from 12 churches across Maryland and Delaware gather together at the BCM/D’s Skycroft Conference Center.

Ladies spent time listening to speakers, prayer-walking, sharing testimonies, and engaging in fellowship. They even got to experience a night of pampering! We’re talking facials, hand-massages—the works!

“Hispanic women rarely feel empowered, and these retreats are one of the few opportunities for the women to come out encouraged…” shared one participant. This is the point their guest speaker Yolanda Calderon emphasized, that women realize God made each one of them for His special purpose.
