BCA-USA Pearl Anniversary Convention, Sunday morning Non-Denominational service

BCA-USA PEARL ANNIVERSARY CONVENTION, SUNDAY MORNING NONDENOMINATIONAL SERVICE, 5/27/2018. Submitted with honor by Rev. Pam Fomunung, Coordinating Minister, BCA-USA NonDenominational Service and BCA-USA Prayer Line.

Psalm 37:23 King James Version (KJV)

The steps of a good man/woman are ordered by the Lord: and he delighteth in his/her way.

From 1988 to 2008, BCA-USA slept on Sunday mornings but in 2008, during the Oklahoma Convention, I held a private Prayer and Worship service in the presidential suite just for my family members. It lasted two hours! Some BCA-USA members heard the Praise and Worship and wished they were invited to participate. I went about my Sunday as usual and gave no thought it.

The following day, Monday Memorial Day, during the BBQ at the park, I felt a burden to start a Sunday morning Non-denominational Prayer Service for BCA-USA. I approached then BCA-USA President, Ni Julius Ndangam at the park with this burden. Without blinking or thinking twice, he said that would be great and the next year in Dallas, during the 2009 convention, the Sunday service became an official BCA-USA program and we held our first ever, BCA-USA Sunday morning service. The rest is history indeed!

The Sunday morning service keeps growing and in the last few years, we have ran out of seats and had to bring in more chairs to accommodate the crowd. Many souls have be won and rededicated to Christ. The format of the service is God ordered and we have been obedient and will continue to be so. Even Prayer Warriors and Scripture Readers are inspired by our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.

It is humbling and very encouraging to witness so many people making time to come and praise, pray and worship God after partying all night ( sometimes till 6am )!

In 2010, the Lord laid in my heart to start a Monthly BCA-USA Prayer Line. We set up the dial in coordinates but it would take another three years for the Prayer Line to be birthed. Our inaugural prayer conference was 7/7/13. Praise God indeed! Join the BCA-USA Prayer line every first Sunday of the month at 7pm Central Standard Time, ( 8pm EST) by dialing 712-432-6333, Access code 267811 . You can send your prayer requests to prayerrequest@ bca-usa.org.

With the birth of the monthly prayer line, the Lord wanted to honor our BCA-USA First Ladies; hence the Prayer line was hosted by our fabulous first ladies initially and we say thank you Pearlicious Fab Ladies!

In 2014 we set up a 24/7 BCA Prayer Line, and by God’s Grace, we shall launch it this year.

In 2016, the Lord laid a burden to have the Bas and Nis host our monthly Prayer Line and our Bas did not disappoint. Ten of the 12 months were hosted by our Bas. We pray that those Bas who have not yet hosted will do so soon. As Men are the spiritual heads and now that they have taken their leadership position, no demon from the pit of hell can mess with BCA-USA or its members!

In February of 2016, we set up a WhatsApp forum where Bani receives daily Inspirational breakfast from Ma Kuna Vanyonga, Ni Ernest Walla and many others. We are also on Facebook, (BCA-USA Prayer Line).

God has been very faithful and the testimonies from both the monthly Prayer Line and the convention Sunday services are innumerable.

As BCA-USA celebrates its Pearl Anniversary, we will make time to thank the Lord for 30 memorable years and for the 10th birthday of the Sunday morning service.

Psalm 100:4 King James Version (KJV)

Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name.

Only God Almighty knows the future of BCAUSA because He is omniscient, omnipresent and omnipotent. All glory, honor and praise goes to him and Him alone!

Nevertheless, in Jeremiah 29:11 King James Version (KJV) He declares (my paraphrase):
