“A Chapter A Day For the Rest of Your Life.”
Meet the man behind this declaration.
Greg St. Cyr, lead pastor at Bay Area Community Church in Annapolis, Maryland, is known as a visionary teacher with an uncommon passion for global missions. His outstanding leadership also extends to his role as husband, father, grandfather and friend.
How do I know this to be true?
Well, prior to being a pastor, Greg and his beloved wife Mary Kaye served with us in the trenches of Kingdom ministry in communist Poland. Becoming fluent in Polish, their love for the people of that nation so gripped their hearts that they elected to name their youngest daughter after a cherished Polish friend.
Recently, this couple of extraordinary faith celebrated their 25th anniversary serving at BACC. Their church community honored the both of them for their godly example of dying to personal dreams and being obedient to God’s call on their lives. Even Maryland’s Governor Larry Hogan conferred a citation to commemorate the historic moment!
Greg’s fervent conviction for personal growth in the life of a follower of Jesus finds expression in his words articulated below:
“No single discipline has been more helpful in my relationship with Jesus than daily Bible reflection. When I enter into a daily time of silence and solitude, when I make the decision to slow down my busy life and leave lesser things undone, when I choose to prayerfully reflect upon God’s Word, I grow in intimacy with Jesus.”
“You hear me say it often: A chapter a day for the rest of your life. That’s because it is our conviction that life’s highest priority is cultivating a personal, intimate relationship with the Lord. That will only happen if you spend consistent time with God reflecting on His Word.”
To encourage this pursuit, Greg wrote a book to serve as a tool for anyone wanting to accept such a challenge. The resource takes the reader, in a year, through all 260 chapters of the New Testament and 105 chapters of the Old Testament. While the volume is not available for purchase, the link to download and print a copy for yourself (with the author’s blessing) is as follows: www.bayareacc.org/chapteraday
