What is "Glocal"

Here at BCC you may hear me refer to a word. The word is "glocal." What does that mean for Global Outreach? It means "global" and "local." We need to be a church that reaches out for Jesus globally, but also locally. We need to realize that BCC is not just a church to meet the needs of those that already attend, but locally, we need to see ourselves as a "mission post." We need to see every ministry as and evangelistic and discipling ministry. Every small group, every ministry, every student sent out from emc is a missionary.

Also, we have to see that BCC can and IS impacting the world "Global." Only God knows how much the moneys, efforts , food, training, literature, vehicles, and people are affecting the Kingdom of God. I bet we took part in thousands of salvations! From our own emc students going into ministry, to the students at Global Bible schools, to food given out overseas or right here in Bedford, to your monthly faith promise, it is mind-boggling to know how many people have been touch for the Gospel. We don't realize the impact we are making. it is awesome! People know Jesus and will be saved because or our giving of money, time, and effort!!!!!!!

What I do know is that we are not supposed to slow down, or stop in our efforts. We must move forward in the Great Commission. We need to stay on focus, on purpose, and be missional. We are a mission post for Jesus Christ. Mission posts exist to win souls! We need to be Glocal, like God is. Let's have an awesome Global Outreach Month! Pastor Nate Elarton
