Thank you for diving into summer ministry with BCM International!

Through generous partners like you, God has met our financial needs for our most active season of ministry! Thank you!

Camps are in full swing!

Young people are learning the Bible at life-shaping North American camps EVERY DAY.

BCM Ireland celebrates 60 years

This year, their camp theme for young people and families is “Finding Hope in Jesus” from Psalm 71:5. 

Day camp provides war-time relief

240 kids and teens in war-torn Ukraine learn about Christ and receive encouragement at day camp.

Missionaries equip and serve others

A group of leaders as well as people experiencing homelessness in Durban, South African, are receiving leadership development training.

Kids get Bible lessons at day camps!
