Every year the BCM/D celebrates unity and diversity at its Language Music Celebration with music, worship, and of course, food. This year the event boasted more than 400 attendees representing 8 different language groups from churches across Maryland and Delaware.

Join me as we go inside the celebration with its director Rolando Castro, BCM/D Hispanic Church Planting, Evangelism and Language Ministries missionary. Learn about the celebration, hear what you missed and find out how you can get involved next year.

Remember, this celebration is made possible every year by gifts to the Cooperative Program from Maryland and Delaware Baptists.

 Looking Ahead [30:36m]: Play Now | Play in Popup | Download (166)

Join us as we go inside the BCM/D with two of its key leaders: Dr. David Lee, BCM/D Executive Director and Rev. Byron Day, newly-elected Convention President (Pastor of Emmanuel Baptist Church in Laurel, MD).

In this candid interview, Dr. Lee shares what the BCM/D is doing differently in 2009 to be a more effective resource for you and your church; Rev. Day suggests realistic ways you and your church can support/participate in BCM/D cooperative efforts; and together they challenge churches to consider the balance between serving the needs of the local church and cooperative missions.

“What is the Baptist Convention of Maryland/Delaware, anyway?” Once you get past that question, I’m convinced you’ll want to be involved prayerfully, financially, and purposefully.
