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. |

The Master Builder
It
is an uncompromising fact that the planter and the builder of the CHURCH is Jesus alone. Human strength, wisdom, money and
materials takes the last factors of Evangelization. God's Eternal plan is that no one should perish and go to hell, but
to believe in Jesus and accept the free offer of Salvation by grace and enter in to the Kingdom of God.
Like any master
builder, The Holy Spirit, locates the field for rising up His people and sends the preacher of the Gospel. While the owner
and the head of the field is God himself, the preacher is like an expert engineer, who plans, designs and starts the construction.
The Holy Spirit fills the leader and the members of the local church with the "Gifts" and sends them out as His
witness to win the lost souls.
In any building construction, various agencies work hard. Masons, bar benders, carpenters,
Electricians, plumbers, floor masons and painters make a building a beautiful house. A church is like this beautiful building
where God chooses to dwell. The foundation is dug very deep. Hard stones are laid along with the "Corner Stone".
And they go under the ground, concealed but hold the whole building very strong for years with out end. The foundation is
Jesus and the Apostles. We simply build upon the foundation. None of us are allowed to build on our own foundations. To-day
the so called leaders are laying new foundations and start to build and alas, before it is completed, the building falls.
When it comes to the raising the building, bricks are chosen in India. A brick is made out of earth. It is crushed and
mixed hard. Then the earth mix goes in to a frame for a shape. It is dried on the sun light and goes in to the furnace and
is burnt. The brick becomes strong and comes out red in color. Thus, the Holy Sprit makes every man strong in Christ through
a process of purifying and usable with a purpose. Then, brick by brick the walls raise. The full brick represents a grown
up believer. The half ones the youth and the small pieces placed in between represents the children. The walls has 2 sides.
Out side and inside. Both sides represent security and testimony. Every one of us live as living testimonies to our own house
holds and then to the world out side. We plaster the wall with cement. This is Love. And we then paint it. This is light and
testimony.
Apostle Paul was chosen by God as an apostle to the gentiles. He planted churches in his three missionary
journeys. He had to depend upon the free will donations of saints, to support new Christians. Persecutions are many in kind.
Every new believer faces severe persecution in India. We need to support them spiritually, morally and financially, till they
are self-supported.
Christian brethren, who are richly blessed not only have the spiritual responsibility of admonishing
and giving good guidance and counsel, but have a responsibility of supporting a mission work with their kind and cash.
Please! stand with us in promoting the cause of Christ. www.nonprofit.com
