Each child at BCA is ensured an opportunity to hear the Gospel, receive a Christian education, eat a meal every day at school, and become a part of a healthy church:
The Gospel
First and foremost, we are committed to sharing the hope found in the Gospel of Jesus Christ with every child at one of our schools. We believe it is through the preaching of the Gospel that God transforms the lives of individuals and communities, including orphans and the poor.
Christian Education
While other child sponsorship programs may give supplemental education, with BCA, your support goes directly toward paying for the child’s entire Christian education. We are committed to implementing a rigorous Christian schooling program so that children will be equipped for their future vocations and a life in submission to the Gospel (Deut. 6:4-9).
Food
Bethlehem means "house of bread." The first type of bread that we give to students is for their souls (Jn. 6:35), and the second type is for their bodies. Some students initially come malnourished, with distended abdomens, hair that breaks, and dry skin. After enrolling at BCA and receiving healthy meals that include meat and vegetables, we see many of these symptoms disappear.
Church
Because our schools, at their core, are a church planting strategy, we don’t want to merely feed and educate like “the world.” Our end goal is the same as the church! It’s making disciples, and seeing those disciples follow Jesus in healthy churches. At each one of our schools, we have partnered with church planters to see a church started at each school location.
