MISSIONS OF THE MONTH
NILE THEOLOGICAL COLLEGE……The college will welcome Debbie Blain as a professor. She will replace Betsy McCormick who retired. Debbie has been teaching in China. As in years past, more students desire to attend NTC than what the college can accommodate. There is always a lack of tuition funds. NTC could use your prayers for continuing success.
NEW TRIBES…..NTM is an evangelism and church planting mission focusing on unevangelized tribal groups all over the world. Their headquarters are in Sanford, Florida. Bethel supports two missionary couples. Bill and Debby Bosley are in Dakar, Senegal where Bill deals with government paperwork for all the missionaries located in the area. Debby's main job is printing educational material which has been translated into native languages for missionaries to use and distribute. She also helps coordinate health needs and paperwork for the missionaries who come and go thru the capital. Bill and Debby will be on furlough this summer in the U.S. Dan and Kathy Stokes are based in Saginaw, MI and they work in coordinating mission work camps and study groups for missionaries who return to the US for updates in their training.

PIONEERS…..Paul & Lucinda Bentley ~ Please continue to pray for the program production, recording, and broadcasting of the radio station. As well, the Bible concordance in Quechua is now published, and joins the Bible handbook and Bible dictionary already in use. In March & April we will travel to a leadership training program in Europe for which I will be a facilitator. We thank each of you for your prayers and financial support of our outreach as the Regional Leader over six Areas in Pioneers, and also of our local church to Quechua people in the country of Bolivia.

Give to Betty Scott, put in the folder on the office door or e-mail to churchnewsletter@access995.com
Anyone who has witnessed a baptism at Bethel has been asked this question: “Do you promise, in dependence on God’s grace, to watch over, assist, counsel, pray for, and in general, be a complement to this child’s God given parents, as they seek to fulfill their pledge”? If you answered “yes” you have promised to help with our children. And as you see stated, you don’t have to rely on your strength, but on God’s grace. Sign up today to watch over our kids by helping in the nursery March 22. See Diane or email ~ di423@msn.com.
