What a wonderful morning at summer camp with His Chosen Outreach Ministries Inc! We had the joy of connecting with some incredible young minds today, talking about who BEMC is, how we safely deliver electricity to homes in our community, and how much of everyday life runs on the power we provide. It's moments like these that remind us why we love what we do. We're already looking forward to next year!
