Our Programs
Extended School Days
The drop-out rate continues to plague Louisiana’s education system. Nearly 15% of students who enter Louisiana high schools drop out, with each student costing the state over $10,500 a year for a child to repeat a grade.
BMA’s quality after-school program model addresses the root of these problems at a fraction of the cost – $1,200 per year. Ten students can attend BMA’s after school for what it costs taxpayers for one child to repeat a school grade!
256,040 kids in Louisiana would attend afterschool programs if they were available.
147,333 kids are on their own daily during the hours after school in Louisiana.

The 100X Men’s Bible Study
The name 100X represents Jesus’ parable of the good soil that produces 100 times what is sown. Our neighborhood 100X Men’s Bible Study has been meeting weekly since 2004, with neighborhood men leading the study for the past 10 years. We have become a diverse group coming together as friends from society’s lower and upper reaches and different ethnic groups. We know that when we look around our small gathering at the Bridge, it is a small glimpse of what Heaven will look like!
