Dear Friends,
It’s been a busy and amazing 6 years since I started as a missionary with BCM International. Coming in as a fresh missionary with a worldwide organization and being charged with developing communications products and strategies for our missionaries to use… that was a daunting task. Thankfully, with God’s help, I’ve been able to help BCM expand its reach, better inform donors and supporters about the our mission, and enable other missionaries to spread the Gospel!
Some of the highlights of work I’ve been involved in during these past 6 years include relaunching our international website to be filled with information showing just how global we actually are while making it easier for people to get involved in mission work with BCM. I’ve traveled throughout the world to document through photo and video and see first-hand the ministries we have in South Africa, Swaziland, India, Nepal, Indonesia, the Philippines, Myanmar, and Canada. We relaunched our magazine, the BCM World, in full color print as well as online and greatly expanded with stories of the work our missionaries do around the world. We launched an online store of our publications material, letting teachers and missionaries alike use our wonderfully developed curricula to help children know God. We’ve expanded our use of online video and DVDs to let others know of the ministry we’re doing around the world. We’re translating our premier teacher training curriculum, In Step with the Master Teacher, into 10 languages by the end of this year, and over 25 languages by the end of 2013.
Great work has been accomplished by the talented team of missionaries I work with and myself, and we look forward to the great work we can accomplish in the future!
As a missionary, however, I raise prayer and financial support in order to continue God’s work here at BCM. Due to varying circumstances, I’ve been unable to raise full support during these 6 years, but God has always been faithful and has met my needs. At the end of May, though, I will be facing a severe financial deficiency that will require me to seek employment away from BCM.
It is my desire, and indeed I feel that it is my calling, to continue serving with BCM, and I trust God will continue to be faithful. My monthly need determined by BCM is $4000 a month for living expenses, taxes and insurance, and ministry expenses (a support schedule can be provided to you upon request). I would ask that you prayerfully consider financially supporting my ministry with BCM International, and become a partner with me in enabling others to share the Gospel with children and adults around the world. If you’re unable to support financially I certainly understand, and I would ask instead that you pray for me and my coworkers in ministry, that we would do God’s will.
If you’d like to donate, you may give online at http://bcmintl.org/donate/ or by calling 1-888-226-4685 and donating over the phone.
Thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to read this, and I pray that God will bless you today and every day.
In Him,

Did you know the USA accounts for about 25% of sex trafficking in the world? I didn’t, but because of a new documentary called Sex + Money (of which my friend Scott is a part of), I found out this fact and a lot more. Do something about this horrible industry and watch this film!
Jerry Brito: Top ten myths about introverts -
Myth #1 – Introverts don’t like to talk.
This is not true. Introverts just don’t talk unless they have something to say. They hate small talk. Get an introvert talking about something they are interested in, and they won’t shut up for days.Myth #2 – Introverts are shy.
Shyness has nothing to…

“Any sin is more or less heinous depending upon the honor and majesty of the one whom we had offended. Since God is of infinite honor, infinite majesty, and infinite holiness, the slightest sin is of infinite consequence. The slightest sin is nothing less than cosmic treason when we realize against whom we have sinned.” — Jonathan Edwards

“Child or adult, the lesson is the same: We collect a lot of junk in our consumer lives. We should be thankful that we are able to afford these luxuries, but also take the advantage of a new start to give our old possessions to any thrift store that will take them, and live a less consumerist life in our new location.”
