With the construction process of the Annex Rebuild about to begin, this is also the time for the Church Planting Committee to start their research. The Church Planting Committee will launch a preliminary study exploring suitable geographical locations, the target group which will be served, and the appropriate timing to church plant.  These studies will take considerable time to gather all the needed information. The formation of the Church Planting Committee will be announced after we have confirmed which two elders will be participating in the project. We encourage brothers and sisters to continuously pray for BAC’s church planting vision and its preparation. We hope that the Kingdom of God will continue to expand through BAC.    

           Praise the Lord! Ever since God has given BAC direction through four visions, pastoral staff, elders, and brothers and sisters are all willing to submit to these visions from God, and everyone is striving to support every mission that is delivered from the above. This year is the fifth year after clearly receiving the four visions. Throughout the past four years, God had led us to complete the Langley Mandarin Outreach Ministry; to begin construction of the Annex rebuild, and this year, the congregations are ready to embrace building up BAC as a disciple making church. We strongly believe that as a disciple, we will be used by God and empowered to be able to build up the church.  BAC is hoping that in the very near future, we will be able to send out enough disciples to build up a new church through church planting, and thus lead more people to enter the Kingdom of God and become His disciples.  

           BAC has already begun her 41st year! We desire to have a 40th Anniversary Celebration this year if the pandemic is under control, as we indeed have so many things to be thankful for and praise our Lord for His blessings upon us.   

           After the Annex rebuild, it will be impossible to have further expansion at our church’s  existing site.  Church planting has been a vision for the BAC over the past few years, and we have been seeking God’s guidance ever since. We have confirmed and received a very clear vision from God that church planting is the direction for us. We strongly believe that once God has started His work, He will finish it till the end.  As this is the work of God, He will bless our brothers and sisters to finish His work in unity.   

         No matter how much the Coronavirus will spread, we trust the love of our brothers and sisters towards God will never change; because the love and guidance of God upon BAC is unfailing and never changes! 

        當附堂重建的建築工程快將開始的時候，也就是植堂委員會開始作研究的時候。委員會初部的研討，將會是植堂的適合地區，服事的群體，與及適合的時間等等。以上這幾方面的研究項目，都是需要一段時間的搜集，才能得到較詳盡的資料。植堂委員的名單，有待確定兩位參予的長老後，便會向會眾公佈。請弟兄姊妹為本宣家植堂的異象及籌備禱告。盼望的神的國度得到擴展。

       感謝神，自從2017年神給予本宣家四大異象方向開始，教牧同工，長執與及弟兄姊妹們，都同心領受從上而來的異象方向，彼此努力支持主給予本宣家的每一個使命。今年正是本宣家清楚領受這四個異象方向後，一同踏進第五年的開始。過去這四年中，神已帶領我們完成蘭里市國語事工的異象，附堂重建快要進入建築的階段，而建立本宣家成為一間建立門徒的教會，今年亦已進入會眾投入成為主的門徒的階段。我們深信，只有門徒才會被主使用，才會有能力建立教會。本宣家期待著在很快的將來，能差派足夠的門徒，藉著植堂的異象，建立新的教會，將更多人帶進主的國度成為門徒。

          本宣家今年已經踏進第四十一年，盼望疫情早日受控，以致我們可以在今年內，補祝四十週年紀念。本宣家在過去的這段日子，實在有著太多要感恩及見證神的事情，有待我們一一的數算。

          本宣家的現址，當附堂重建後，便已經是去到不能再有擴建的可能性。植堂是本宣家在過去的日子，一直都存在的異象。我們只是等待神進一步的指引。而今天，我們已經清楚領受了神要本宣家植堂的明確指示。我們深信，當神動了善工，祂必定會完成這工。因為這是神的工作，神要祝福本宣家的弟兄姊妹同心去完成。

          無論新冠病毒如何變種，弟兄姊妹對主的愛是絕對不會改變的，因為主賜給本宣家的大愛與及保守，是從來不會改變的。
