If someone asked you, “Do you want to experience more of Christ?” your answer would likely be yes. If they asked, “Do you want to reach one of the largest unreached people groups?” most believers would answer yes again. Yet both of these opportunities may be sitting right in front of many of us.

This summer marked the sixth year of the Everyone Belongs Camp! It was a joy to be able to gather once again with campers, their families, and volunteers from churches across the BCM/D. We were thrilled to welcome both many familiar faces and numerous first-time families, all coming together for a weekend of worship, friendship, encouragement, and fun.

That was the whole point of our annual Everyone Belongs Camp, the week each year when BCM/D sets aside its normal rhythm to make room for individuals and families affected by disabilities. I believe loving and serving these families honors God, and camps like this one are proof that our convention doesn’t just talk about caring for people on the margins — we build a weekend around it.
