July 2006
This month, Momentum is travel-sized for your convenience! For those of you who will be joining us in Miami, we’ll see you soon. And for the many who will remain at home, praying for this gathering of the BIC family: be sure to check our website for daily coverage of worship services, business sessions, and children's and youth activities.
Stay tuned!
General Conference might be one of the most important BIC events every two years, but we all know that many BICs don’t get to attend, so how will we all stay on the same page? Over the next four days, you’ll receive one e-mail per day, which should come to you after each evening session, on Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and Monday. More>>
A peek at evening services for GC 2006
General Conference 2006 will include four evening worship services where participants will worship together and receive a message from a different pastor each night, including Rickey Bolden, Bishop John Zuck and two pastors from Miami, Pablo Lago and Humberto Cruz. Various aspects of the theme “Built to Last” will be unpacked by each preacher. Worship will be led by Freddy Colloca, a local worship leader. More>>
We Have This Ministry re-released
If you're currently in full-time ministry, considering congregational leadership in the future, or even just interested in what it means to be a BIC pastor, you'll want to check out the second edition of We Have This Ministry. The book, edited by E. Morris Sider, was originally published in 1991, and has recently been re-released with current information for 21st-century readers. More>>
How will the BIC look in 2020?
A little older, and hopefully, wiser, too. Last year, 35 BIC church leaders and pastors attended Emerge ’05 to focus on vision and leadership development for the future. Insights gleaned from the event’s participants are already helping to shape future ministry initiatives. More>>
Other duties as assigned
Fulfilling the clause in each General Church contract that states, “Must be willing to perform other duties as assigned,” three daring women are driving a truck loaded with all sorts of BIC paraphernalia, from displays to t-shirts and birdhouses to quizzing trophies from Grantham, PA to Miami, FL.

Share your insights
You receive Momentum because you are a leader in the church within a congregation, a regional conference, the General Church, or all three. You may have asked to be included on the mailing list for Momentum or your name may have been picked up automatically when you entered your current position of leadership. Regardless of how you have come to Momentum, your feedback is important. Please let us hear from you.
