B.C.C Begins a New Ministry We are pleased to introduce
to you a brand new ministry of Beach Community Church! Our goal with Hands & Feet Ministries is to train, encourage,
and send out members of our community to engage in short term mission  projects in our own back-yard and into the barrios of Nicaragua.
Not
only can we have a huge impact on the places and people we serve, but the most amazing thing is the impact on our own hearts.
We welcome your involvement as we offer our lives to be the hands, feet, and voice of Jesus Christ in Costa Rica and Nicaragua. For an inside look at Hands and Feet ministries...Click here READ BELOW FOR OUR PRESENT AND PAST EVENTS/ADVENTURES IN MINISTRY

Our First Entry
Helllo Everyone, As I begin this blog on our ministries activities
at Beach Community Church... I lament the fact that we didn't start this blog about a year ago. So much has happened
since Hands and Feet Ministry was initiated, and I wish we had kept our "internet fans" more informed from the beginning.
But better late than never... so here we go. I'll start with a quick recap of where
we've been over the last year. - Our Church made 4 Trips to Nicaragua over the past year
with teams of 12-18 people to build homes, feed poor children at the city dump of La Chureca, care for orphaned children,
evangelize in homeless shelters, and do work projects for local churches and Christian schools for poor children.
- Over
the past two years, our church has helped the nearby community of Filadelfia following the rainy seasons which have left them
displaced and distraught. We have ministered to this community by helping to clean up trash in the streets, distributing
bags of basic foods, and distributing clothes and shoes donated by members of the community.
- Church members made
a road trip to help Earthquake Victims near Volcan Poas in Costa Rica after the quake leveled many homes and left people in
despair.
- BCC hosted a Christmas Event in December for the underprivileged in the town of Matapalo where we gave gifts,
hosted games, and shared the gospel with 30+ children.
- BCC also hosted an outreach event to the community of Villareal
where games were played, popcorn was shared, the Jesus film was shown, and the gospel was proclaimed.
- Three members
of our church have initiated a Christian Surfers chapter in Tamarindo in an effort to to reach the surf culture in our area
with the gospel. They now hold weekly gatherings at Oneida Park in Tamarindo on Mon nights, 6pm.
- Several members
of our church recenly hosted a showing Jesus film at a local Costa Rican Elementary school in Los Pargos near Playa Negra...
popcorn, a movie, and the gospel.
An most recently, last Sunday one of
our church members held a bake sale on behalf of a ministry in the nearby town of La Guinia called, "La Misericordia
de Dios". This ministry is a Christian rehabilitation program for men battling subtance abuse addictions.
Our chruch also supports this program by keeping a donation box in the back of the church where people in the community can
donate clothes, food, money etc. to help this ministry.
Next on the calendar will be another trip
to Nicaragua... we'll keep you posted on how that goes. Thanks again for your prayers and support of our church. Grace and Peace to you, Beach Community Church
