Pamoja Ministries seeks to provide quality Christian training and materials for leaders in East Africa.  They are dedicated to what they describe as the three C's:

"Committed (to God, to the ministry, and to the target group) 
 Careful       (in product and in process) 
 Caring        (fulfilling God’s purpose in the context of a caring community)"

Led by Glorious and Josephine Shoo, New Life Foundation is a three-fold ministry consisting of:

Fountain of Hope is a Christian boarding school serving impoverished children and orphans in Tanzania.  They seek to provide them with a "Christian and scholastic education."

Fountain of Joy is a ministry to unwed teenage mothers that seeks to "introduce them to Jesus Christ as Lord, while also providing them with skills and an education to help them become productive and self-supporting citizens."

Fountain of Love is a ministry which aims to train and equip other Christians to effectively work with children.

Additionally, New Life foundation has recently opened an orphanage, which they hope to expand in the future.

Affiliated with YWAM, Clark and Beth Barnard lead a team based out of Iquitos, Peru.  This team has three main departments:

1) Julio Sinaragua leads a team that seeks to reach the nearby indigenous villages.

2) Rene and Edith Lopez head up a creative arts ministry.

3) Clark and Beth lead a Discipleship Training School and pastor training school in Iquitos.

BCF provides prayer support for the whole ministry and financial support for three team members:  Clark Barnard, Julio Sinaragua, and Carlos Ramirez.

Jeff David was formerly a full-time professor at Seminario ESEPA, where he taught for nine years.

On July 1, 2006, he began working with a ministry called ProMETA

ProMETA is an online program that provides cost-efficient, graduate level training for Christian leaders in the Spanish-speaking world.  It is an approach that enables proven leaders to continue their education without having to leave their families, ministries, or countries in order to study.

From July 9-19, 2009 members of BCF's Youth Group helped with building projects, and entertained the children living in Mount of Olives Children's Village in Uruapan, Mexico on the Baja. Youth Pastor Justin and Ann Long led a team of eight with the help of Missions Network International. The group had a great time playing with the children, serving others in the Uruapan area, and providing Vacation Bible School in the afternoons.

This year a team of nine will be back at Mount of Olives Children's Village from June 24-July 8, 2010. The team is looking foward to serving God and minstering to the people of Uruapan. Please check our Calendar of Events section for upcoming Mission trip fundraisers or email the office at office@bcfcommunity.com for information on the trip.
