THE MISSIONS OF OUR MISSION

RIGHT HERE

Mountain Area Pregnancy Center (MAPC)
This ministry was launched to help the needs of expectant mothers and has grown into so much more. Teenagers are counseled, young parents are encouraged and supplied so babies can be brought to term and thrive.          (Contact Dorthy Bilsing)

Evergreen Christian Outreach (ECHO) 
ECHO meets the physical needs of the poor in our mountain area. Food and clothing are the most immediate needs. Sometimes emergency cash and furniture are also provided. All of this is done in the name of Christ with acceptance and compassion. (Contact Lynn Male)

LifeCare Assisted Living
This ministry needs volunteers to replace Rick and Susan Adams who have stepped down from leading worship on the fourth Sunday of each month at the Life Care facility here in Evergreen. Here is an opportunity to bring smiles and comfort to people often left alone.

OVER THERE

Juarez Mexico Ministry Partnership – We have established close ties with Iglesia Emmanuel in Juarez, Mexico, just a one-day drive from Denver. Although we can no longer take teams to Juarez because of the danger, we continue to support the pastoral ministry of Tony and Coco Nunez in prayer, encouragement, and other tangible ways. Josh Doneff is the contact person for this ministry.

Spain – Pastor training and church planting
Jonathan and Meta Nelson live in Zaragosa, Spain where they coordinate the Evangelical Free Church theological education for the Spanish speaking world.  The classwork is done through the Internet and Jon meets on one to one with local pastors, encouraging them in their church planting work.   The Nelson family is also involve in outreach through music education and Meta is teaching English. 

Support of both local and foreign missions is a priority for our church and is outlined in our Missions Protocol document.

More About – Mission to Romania 

Ministry partnerships are an important part of our ministry with Romanian orphans. In the early nineties, Mercy Ministries (MM), led by Fred and Karleen Dewey, began to partner with a Romanian foundation, Fundatia Crestina Elim (FCE) to minister to abandoned children. Later, Loving Arms Teams were formed from Denver area churches to run summer camps for Romanian orphans in partnership with FCE. Teams are designed to be multi-ethnic and multi-generational. Joining these teams from BPC were Pastor Jim and Barb Demolar, Diane, Leann, and Jenna Pulvermiller, Fred and Karleen Dewey and their children and grandchildren. The goal is to bring the love of God and his hope into the difficult circumstances of orphans’ lives. In recent years, these teams have been sent through Mile High Ministries (MHM) located in Denver. Diane Pulvermiller has a leadership role with Loving Arms Teams. The team begins to meet in the fall in preparation for the camps the following summer.

Fred and Karleen’s ministry involves supporting foster parents in Romania through parent training and helping with challenging behavioral issues. As part of an international team in Romania, they provide guidance and encouragement to younger coworkers in their work with orphans of all ages. Their ministry includes teaching English, leading Bible studies, a microenterprise project, and several leadership roles.   

Mercy Ministries of Colorado includes Mercy Trails Ranch in eastern Colorado and ministries in Romania and the Philippines. The mission of MM is “assisting needy children and their families . . . in Christ’s name.” Directors are Scott and Josie Gwin who are also directors of Mercy Trails Ranch.
