2012 Highlights

Last night was amazing for our church family.  We gathered together to reflect on 2012 and highlight the ministries, volunteers and leaders of our covenant family…BFWC.  In addition, we “broke bread” together in the true spirit of Acts 2:42.  I’m always encouraged when I “DO” life with my church family.

Check out the 2012 Highlights Video here.

·       Media Ministry reported that we have an average of 4,200 hits per month on our LIVE streaming and archived sermons.  That’s almost 50,000 a year! 

·       Food Pantry Ministry reported 1,766 people fed in 2012 (487 Families).  More than a dozen salvation's, 1 filled with the Holy Ghost and dozens of healing's/answered prayer for jobs!

·       Home Missions Ministry reported that we were able to partner with several agencies and local programs through Central Indiana including: Children’s Bureau, Compassionate Child Care Ministry, The Julian Center, Ronald McDonald House and Salvation Army. 

• Helped Compassionate Angels fulfill some of the items on their 2012 bucket list.
• Provided breakfast for the families staying at the Ronald McDonald House.
• Provided back packs for the Back Pack Attack in 2012 to assist 33,000 students in central Indiana.
• Volunteered at the 26^th Annual Coats for Kids campaign – over 5,000 coats distributed.
• Adopted 2 families during the Annual “Hope for the Holidays” with over $500 in gifts.

·       
Nursing Home Ministry reported increased attendance with volunteers and ministry efforts in 2012 with two monthly services being held on the 1^st and 3^rd Sunday of each month.

·       Sports Ministry reported now in our 5^th season we have over 215 boys and girls playing basketball and cheer-leading.  To this date, we've had over 1000 kids involved in UPWARD at BFWC.

·       Transportation Ministry reported over 30 people riding the bus for the Sunday 11 AM service each week…and over 20 on Wednesdays evenings.  In 2012, the Transportation Ministry had 8 outreaches and led 15 people to Jesus.  One entire family was one to the Lord and baptized in the Spring of 2012.

These are only a few of the highlights that were shared last night as we honored our Pastors, Elders, Deacons, Ministry Coordinators and Volunteers.

I pray you’ll continue to be blessed as you continue to build the Lord’s work.  I want to encourage you to give 100% in 2013.  Allow your heart to be softened before the Lord and determine to DO MORE than ever before in the coming year.

Believing that your 2013 will be EXTRAORDINARY!
