Make a Difference

Challenge students to make a difference, we did and we’re doing it again. Last year, over 1200 students from across the state joined together to make a difference in Baltimore at Uncharted 2008.

Maina Mwaura, BCM/D Missionary for Student Ministry takes us inside Uncharted, the missions and evangelism experience for Maryland/Delaware students. Get the lowdown on last year’s conference, and find out what Maina’s got in store for Uncharted 2009, March 27-29. We challenge you to show up and make a difference.

Sidenote: This is first time I’ve had a guest ask to sing and for cake. Don’t worry, I didn’t let Maina sing.

The Gift?

Don’t feel like you have the gift of spiritual evangelism? You’re not alone. Apparently 90% of Christians feel the same way. So how do we engage in evangelism? And what is evangelism anyway?

The Seminar

Join us as we go inside the concept of Doable Evangelism and discuss last weekend’s Doable Evangelism Seminar sponsored by the BCM/D.

Thom Thornton, the BCM/D missionary for evangelism and Misty Pearson, a seminar attendee join us for an in-depth look at the conference, the “lost” interview, and cool ways to make evangelism “doable” for the 90% of us to whom evangelism doesn’t come quite so easily.

YPAC is one of the coolest youth events in Maryland/Delaware. Faith and art intersect in a mighty way at this week-long camp for young musicians, artists, dancers, photographers…um, it’s a really long list. Join me–go inside the Baptist Convention of Maryland/Delaware to take a closer look at the Visual and Performing Arts Camp.

Joining us for this week’s episode are Bill Archer or as I like to call him, the “Man behind YPAC,” and Rachel Shiflett a former YPAC camper turned YPAC dance teacher. Bill is also the Missionary for Music and Worship at the BCM/D.

Check it out…

Join us as we go inside the BCM/D and find out what our Missionary for missions does everyday (and how she’s putting your Cooperative Program dollars to work throughout Maryland and Delaware).
