Dear BCCA Families,

We are entering into a new year! Now is the time when most people make resolutions to better their lives. However, 80% of people have failed to keep their resolutions through February. BCCA is making a resolution too, but we will keep ours for the rest of the year. This is because we are asking for God’s help each and every day.

Our resolution is simple. It is our mission statement: To blend the work of redemption and education through Christ-centered teaching. Our goal is to teach students how to be academically successful, but also to be sure our curriculum is focused around Christ. Our resolution is to show the students Christ through our teaching and make sure they are ready for His soon return. With the new year here, we need to be sure the students are becoming new creations in Christ. We will work hard to ensure this resolution becomes a reality.

Happy New Year!

Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here! 2 Corinthians 5:17

Greeting BCCA Family,

2019 is officially here. With every new year, we find ourselves making or renewing resolutions. I'd like to encourage us all to make a renew a most specific/definite aim this new year.

It has been said that success in any line demands a definite aim. In order to achieve true success in life, one must keep steadily in view the aim that is worthy of their attention and focus.

Such a worthy aim is set before our youth. The great heaven - appointed purpose of giving the gospel of Jesus Christ to the world in this generation is the noblest aim that can appeal to any human being. It opens before us a field of effort to everyone whose heart has been touched by the gospel.

God's purpose for the children growing up under our care is often deeper and higher than our restricted vision has comprehended.

The Bible tells us how God, in times past, called young people, humble and faithful, to stand as witnesses before the world's leaders. Many a young person today, growing up as did Daniel in his Judean home, studying God's word and His works, and learning the lessons of faithful service, will yet stand in legislative assemblies, in halls of justice, or in royal courts, as a witness for the King of kings. Multitudes will be called to a wider ministry.

The whole world is opening to the gospel.

Ethiopia is stretching out her hands unto God. From Japan and China and India, from the still - darkened lands of our own continent, from every quarter of this world of ours, comes the cry of sin - stricken hearts for a knowledge of the God of love. Millions upon millions have never so much as heard of God or of His love revealed in Christ. It is their right to receive this knowledge. They have an equal claim with us in the Saviour's mercy. And it rests with us who have received the knowledge, with our children to whom we may impart it, to answer their cry. To every household and every school, to every parent, teacher, and child upon whom has shone the light of the gospel, comes at this crisis the question put to Esther the queen at that momentous crisis in Israel's history, “Who knoweth whether thou art come to the kingdom for such a time as this?” Esther 4:14.

In 2019, let's continue to focus our efforts to help our children envision the definitive aim of knowing Jesus as their Saviour and then with all intentionality, sharing Him with others as faithful missionaries for Him.

May God bless you in 2019 as you continue in this most important endeavor!

Pastor Jeff
