We will have our first joint El Salvadors/Mexico meeting this Sunday, May 2nd, at 5:00 in the SageView Room. Our agenda is pretty simple:
1) We will clarify the paperwork and finances that we all need to get in.
2) We will plan for our fund raisers.
3) We will eat pizza (but only if you RSVP to Michelle at michelle.hopp@bethel-church.org)
Get the word out to everybody!
Meet in the Gym from 6:30-8p. Jessica MacFarlan (a former Bethel student) will be the guest speaker, she will be speaking on her last 16 months in Garissa, Kenya-where she ministered in a predominately Muslim village with Bethany International.

Ministry Trips are God initiated, life-long changing experiences intended to help students see the world as God does by serving others while developing personal faith and community.
iNTERSECT has 5 opportunities in 2010 to serve on ministry trips. The Bridgetown trip was a huge blessing to those on the trip. Details are coming in for the rest of the trips. Click on the name of the trip you are interested in to download the application.

Arandas, Mexico- July 23-August 1 - Cost will be approximately $1500
For the past four years, Bethel has partnered with local pastors and evangelists to help spread God’s truth in the city of Arandas. With the kids, we will play games, sing praise songs, do puppet shows, make crafts, and teach valuable Bible lessons in order to ultimately share the good news of Jesus Christ with them. We may also have an opportunity to do other outreaches to teenagers and adults in the evenings. In addition to reaching out to non-Christians, our goal is also to encourage and lift up in prayer those few Christians in Arandas who faithfully shine God’s light there year-round.
