BBM Community Gatherings 2026
Connecting global vision with local community action for children and families.
Global Connections, Local Action
“Global Connections, Local Action” was a unique opportunity for leaders in Europe, Africa, MENA and Asia to connect online with the global community while gathering in person locally with friends, colleagues, and partners who share a heart for children and families. Leaders invited others to join them and grew their local network with a vision for vulnerable children.
This year's hybrid gathering allowed participants to:
- Connect with the worldwide community
- Gather locally with partners in their area
- Learn from inspiring stories of impact across nations
- Reflect and identify practical next steps for their local context
Calling All Local and National Leaders
Are you passionate about working together to:
- Strengthen families to prevent orphanhood and child vulnerability?
- Provide families for orphaned children through reunification, foster care, or adoption?
- Build partnerships to help children and families thrive?
- Promote self-care and spiritual renewal for those serving?
