Through Everlasting Smiles Shoebox Ministry, thousands of children have heard the message of Jesus Christ. Each year thousands of shoeboxes are packaged by BMA church members to be distributed to children, many who have never experienced the joy of a Christmas gift.

When talking about values, we are referring to the “unique beliefs, core convictions, and guiding principles” of an organization (Dave Devries, Multiplication Workshop). It has also been stated that, “Core values are the heartbeat to your “why”. Much more than words, values unveil the essence or raison d’être of an organization. Thus, reflecting their focus, approach, assumptions, and even finances.”

Short-term missions teams partner with BMA missionaries to provide ways for pastors to be known in their communities. These teams are missionary driven and provide teams that can come alongside our pastors and church planters to provide things that assist them in making Jesus known in the community and open doors for furthering ministry.

Lifeword Executive Directors Harold Morris, A.R. Reddin, and Paul Bearfield, Sr. were incredible visionaries in their time, remaining on the cutting edge of technology throughout their tenures. Now deceased, they could hardly have imagined where that technology would take the media ministry.
