BCM Testimony--Chris Foy



BCM Alumni:

Thank you BCM.

There’s no way that I could thank BCM properly in a blog post or a video for everything that it has meant in my life, but I’ll give it my best shot.  After reading all the wonderful testimonies already posted, I have decided to share simply all the great things I gained from being a part of BSU/BCM.  It would be quite concerning if these opportunities were ever not afforded to our college students.

Simply by being a part of BCM…

It gave me tremendous mentors.  Jane Poster, Greg Nix, and Chad Stillwell to name a few. 

It gave me lifelong friends.  Eight years after graduation, I’m still as close to many of my BCM brothers and sisters as I was back then.   

It gave me accountability.  I shudder to think what kind of roads I would have gone down had I not had the support of friends who cared about my Christian walk.

It gave me encouragement.  It is incredibly moving when your peers do great things in name of Christ.  There were countless examples of my friends going out and making the world a better place because of their opportunities through BCM.

It gave me mission opportunities.  All I had to do is sign up my time, and through BCM I served in trailer parks, soup kitchens, homeless shelters, thrift stores, Bible Camps, three week long service trips, and one eight week missionary trip in Kershaw. 

It gave me the tools and confidence to take what I learned and spread the message of Jesus Christ throughout the world in everything I do.  I’ve incorporated the lessons I learned into the churches I have been a part of as well as into my everyday life. 

It gave me hope that in an increasing secular world, there is a program that is equipping young men and women to be the future of our church.

BCM has given me so much.  I could never give the organization enough praise.
