Jemo CarePoint Capital Project and Trip
For many years, BCC has supported the community of Jemo, Ethiopia in partnership with Children’s Hope Chest. A new capital project has been established to raise funds for a weaving project in the Jemo community that aims to create income-generating opportunities for them. You can read about the details of this project and find out how you can help HERE.
Over the years, BCC has sent many people to Jemo, Ethiopia to visit the community. There is another trip planned for the fall of 2024! You can find out more about that HERE. Our very own, Corrie Mayher, is passionate about the Jemo project and is BCC’s point of contact for all things Jemo. If you want to know anything about Jemo, you can contact Corrie at cmayher7@gmail.com.
Have Questions?
If you have questions about anything at all at BCC, we want to help. On Sunday mornings you can drop by the Connect Corner and get answers to many of your questions. Our BCC Leadership Team, which is made up of elders, deacons and church staff, is an excellent source for information.
