A WoRd FrOmOuR PaStOrMissions is the heartbeat of God and therefore a high priority at Bethel Church. The whole redemptive message of the Bible is that God sent His best, His only Son, to bring hope and salvation to the world. As followers of Christ, we must do the same by doing our best to advance the good news of God’s love and message of reconciliation. The Great Commission that Jesus gave to all of His followers is to GO into all the world and proclaim this JRRG�QHZV��:H�IXOƓOO�WKLV�FRPPLVVLRQ�E\�praying, sending, supporting and doing missions. It starts from our church reaching into our own community and then to the communities and nations around the world.

This brochure is our Missions plan at Bethel for 2014. It is where we start - not where we end. May I encourage each one at Bethel, WR�QRW�RQO\�EH�D�ƓQDQFLDO�FRQWULEXWRU�WR�WKH�work of God through Missions, but also use this brochure as a daily prayer guide for the missionaries, ministries and outreaches that we support. God will richly bless you in return for doing that which is of His heart - reaching the lost and hurting.

however, they need to secure a permanent location. Their facility is rapidly becoming inadequate to meet the many needs of their growing congregation. Congreso needs to know that they are here to stay. They must know that they are a permanent voice and that their commitment to them as well as to Christ will not fail. Their son Jeff, also assists full-time in the work with worship, teaching and youth outreach.

Bob Emberley grew up as a teen and young adult in Bethel Sarnia. He and his wife, Magda, have been working full-time with YWAM (Youth With A Mission) for many years. They assisted in starting a YWAM base in

Recife, Brazil and recently have been working in Afghanistan. Bob is currently working with a YWAM team in Thailand. He and Magda will be in Brazil, for the months of July and August, teaching at the YWAM Recife base. In the Fall, they plan to go to Pakistan for 3 months to teach at a “School of Evangelism” with Pakistan students. Please pray for the door to open wide and for the needed funds and visas to go into Pakistan.

Bethel Sarnia has been very involved with the missions work of Ed Dickson in Ukraine in the last 3 years. What many do not know is that Ed’s ministry extends beyond Ukraine. Ed’s ministry, Loads of Love, is also actively involved

in Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Russia, Afghanistan and China. The ministry is focused on three targets: helping orphans, reaching out to forgotten seniors, and sending messengers of light into dark places.

This missionary has a burden to minister to impoverished families and children in Southeast Asia. There are literally tens of thousands of children displaced from their homes due to much civil unrest and natural

disasters. Parents struggle to meet the basic family needs (food, clothing, shelter, medical). Their long term vision is to develop a care center for needy children. The centre would help meet their physical needs but would also provide opportunities for self-improvement through English teaching programs, technical and vocational skills training, counseling and more. They have begun the work by launching ESL programs in local villages and in a Bible college.

YWAM Recife works with different VRFLDO�SURMHFWV��ZLWK�D�VSHFLƓF�IRFXV�on the ‘younger generation’ which are children at risk. Each year they train and mobilize more than 100 students and volunteers and have 70

full time missionaries. Although the economy of Brazil is thriving, extreme poverty is very common in the cities and all across the country. Because of this crime and violence are ramp everywhere, spiritism and witchcraft oppress many people from knowing the Lord in a personal way. Please pray for people to be open to hear the gospel.

Mati and Julie will be hosting teams that are coming for massive evangelism during the “World Cup” (soccer) as the nations are coming to Brazil.

Pray for courage for those who become Christians are often rejected by their family. God often speaks to people hungry for truth through visions, dreams, and supernatural signs and wonders. Pray that He will reveal Himself to millions in this way who may not otherwise learn about Jesus.

Reaching Kids International is dedicated to meeting the spiritual, physical, and educational needs of at risk children in third world countries. Most of the children where RKI serves are bound in incredible poverty

who have no chance of escape unless Christians help. Most of the countries where RKI serves in are Buddhist and so they pray to spirits and hope for good luck to help them in life. Most of the areas are very impoverished and it seems that the government works against them. A true revelation of Christ would break these strongholds!

At Bethel, we believe that Missions should start at home. We have many people right here in our own community who need to know the love of God through Jesus Christ. As funds are raised in our missions giving, we become involved in a variety of outreach efforts and support various local ministries. Past outreaches of Bethel into our community have included: Neighbourhood picnics, Family Fun Day, Kids Adventure Week, The Solid Way, Divorce Care, Cancer Support Group, Rescue Junior High Program, support for The Landing, etc.
