Our Global Mission
Because we believe the Bible calls us to a Global Mission, we have committed ourselves to declaring the Good News of the Gospel of Jesus Christ to everyone, everywhere. (Matthew 24:14; 28:19-20)
This Global Mission includes missions work right here in Littlestown, PA as well as supporting and sending missionaries to the far reaches of our world. We are compelled by the love of Christ to advance His kingdom at home and around the world.
Our resolve as a congregation to fulfill our Global Mission has been reflected in the growth of our mission’s giving over the past decade. In 1994 our total investment in world missions was about $9,000. In 2005 we invested more than $330,000 to help reap a global harvest. Over the past four years we have sown more than 1 million dollars into the work of missions around the world! Presently, we are supporting more than one hundred missionaries or mission outreaches with at least a $100 per month faith promise.
Our resolve has also been reflected in those from our congregation who have been called and sent. Members of our congregation are currently serving as directors of the United States Christian Commission in Gettysburg, as Missionary Associates in Swaziland, Africa, and as a nationally appointed missionay to Myanmar in Asia. Additionally, several short term missionary teams have gone out from Bethel.
Not only is Bethel going to the nations, but the nations are coming to us. Currently more than ten nations are represented by families that make Bethel their church home. Bethel is impacting the world!
