Launching new blog for Bethel Missions

This is the new blog for Bethel Missions. Bethel Missions was founded in 1994 with 7 children and with 20 rupees. It is a ministry among the orphan children. Today we have over 300 children taken care of in 5 different facilities. Bethel Missions also has a day care centre in a village with 96 boys and girls.

Bethel Missions does have a ministry among the Pastors as well. There are about 70-75 Pastors that get together every month from different churches and have a luncheon fellowship and prayer and worship together. We do help Pastors in monthly support and provide them with a Motor cycle as and when the Lord provides with funds.

Bethel has opened a small Health Care Centre in January 2009. There are 4 doctors that are visiting here everyday and attend the patients. The health care of our children is also well taken care of through this centre. This center needs an ambulance and several other medical equipments.

There are 6 girls that are going for the Nurses Training through Bethel Missions. Four of them are in their second year while two others have just joined. We have 8 girls and boys that are attending their 12th grade in a college. Two girls attending the Bible College. At least five boys who left our home and then graduated from Bible College are serving the Lord at different places.
