Special Assembly this week

All students enjoyed the work of a sand artist. Machai Ma has spent many years serving in a church. But for the last ten years, he has learned and performed as a sand artist. He used a lighted box with sand to create his work set to music and projected on the screen. It was a peaceful and beautiful demonstration. The message of the artwork was simple and powerful: God is with us when we go through hard times. See photo below!

New Music Teacher

We welcome T Benj to BCCI as our new music teacher. He is full of energy & ideas and is so thankful to be serving at BCCI. T Benj has been teaching for nine years: two years in the Philippines and seven years in China. He also served in full-time ministry for three years with a focus on music ministry.
