The Weary World Rejoices!

This Christmas bulb sums up our hope in the gospel as we end 2020: the weary world rejoices!

The birth of Jesus gives us reason to celebrate. The life, death, and resurrection of Jesus changes everything. We are committed to bringing that message to a weary world.

 We are amazed at all God has done in 2020 to build BALM in spite of the pandemic!

·       We sponsored and launched a second site for Metro Baltimore Seminary. Students at MBS@Freedom Church include a former Hindu priest from Nepal, a Kurdish church leader, a former Muslim from Iraq, a resident of the Helping Up Mission, and a teacher of under-resourced children.

·       Your partnership makes it possible for BALM to sponsor this MBS site as well as the Church Planting & Renewal and Urban Ministry tracks. Don't miss this short, encouraging Thank You Video  from several students.

·       We expanded our staff (and budget!) to focus on developing young urban ministry leaders with the addition of Kevin Good.

·       We continued coaching, teaching MBS classes, and assisting with a church revitalization.

·       We expanded our board of directors and built critical infrastructure.
