Bethel is a missionary Organization.
Bethel Pastors
Bethel is a Mission Society, commissioned by the Lord Jesus Christ, to preach, teach and to demonstrate the saving Grace of Jesus Christ to the hurting World. There are millions of people in this region who have not come to know Christ as their Lord and Savior. And 80% them live in rural villages below poverty line.
Jesus Called this group of people as “the ones who do not know the difference between the right hand to the left hand”. Indian Society and culture so rigid with so many divisions of castes and community classifications. 99% of these hard working daily laborers will end up in hell, if Bethel and others here would not be obedient to the great commission.
Therefore, we go from one village to another and preach the Gospel, heal the sick and deliever the bound. And this way Bethel has established and has associated with 30 rural churches. These small churches meet in houses, thatched sheds and some in good buildings. These churches are shouldered up by local evangelists and pastors, whom the Lord called to serve Him. They have never seen a seminary or a missions training.
Bethel therefore, has a very huge responsibility of training these evangelists, pastors and the young churches and keep them spiritually nurtured and deeply rooted in Jesus Christ. Bethel does an extensive ministry to the children and youth of these churches by hosting residential camps.
And Bethel has to constantly keep in vigil for the enemy who sows evil to the new churches, enticing them with crafty words and welfare schemes and try to sheep steal. Therefore, We ask you to pray for our churches, pastors and help us in every way possible to further the causes of the Kingdom. I can not do it all alone.
Adopt An Indian Rural church
It is now a proven fact that Indian missions should be headed by Indian leadership and self reliant. And it is 100% possible with the well established main line churches. The Lord used many western mission, church and Para church organizations to see far; this need and handed over to Indian leadership, well built cathedrals, schools, seminaries, hospitals and other vocational training institutions.
The Church Of south India, the Lutheran, the Methodists, the Baptists, the Church of Christ, and Assemblies of God and others, fall in these Categories. These main line churches still have international support and have large member ship. The collection of Offerings and tithe are manifold. Indigenous Organization like Bethel is Missions in nature and the churches are 100% new, made of new believers and 90% of them are daily laborers.
The members of these local churches are very little in number and are unable to meet the support of a pastor or an evangelist. And that’s why, Bethel is searching for precious friends like you to extend your support for the advancement of the kingdom. It is easier for a westerner to raise millions for the Missions in India, while it is a night mare for a local India to raise the support from sources out sided India.
Any westerner coming to India, paying for Air-ticket, hotels, food and local travel is sky high. How ever a mere 50$ a month support for a local pastor for a period of 2-3 years can achieve much more.
Why don’t you come forward to support an India pastor with a monthly 50$ support.? This family and local congregation will pray for you and seek for your blessings and you will have an account of winning souls.
