Relationships
Relationship
is at the core of who God is (The Trinity) and how He intends for us
to function and grow. We believe that it is in the context of relationships
that we can take our next step closer to Christ.
The
staff at BHM is committed to spending time getting to know those whom
God has brought for us to minister to, so that we can begin to see together
what the next step looks like for each person or group.
While
we recognize that relationships take time, we also know that the Holy
Spirit can use special moments in special settings to bring us to deep
levels of intimacy in a relatively quick timeframe. We have seen God
do this many times as we have shared our hearts with “new”
friends and they with us. It seems that the Lord is able to “peel
back the layers” of our lives in this unique setting and allow
us to share our hearts.
For
some this may take place in one-on-one moments and for others in small
group outings. The “next step” is different for each of
us, for some it is that initial step of faith into relationship with
Christ, for others it is an invitation into a deeper, more meaningful
experience with Him, and for still others it may be a step towards healing
or refreshment. Whatever the step looks like, we believe God has called
BHM and it’s staff to be His “stepping stones” as
we move closer to Him.
