August is Missions Month!

Acts 1:8
"But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you. And you will be my witnesses, telling people about me everywhere—in Jerusalem, throughout Judea, in Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”

August is missions month at Bethel Baptist church, we are an Acts 1:8 church we attempt to live out the command that Jesus gave in this verse.

On 2 occasions this summer our Brotherhood has worked locally to help replace the roof on homes where the homeowner could not afford the labor.

We have had church members to go and be a part of missions efforts to 3 different states as well as the country of Panama.

During the month of August beginning on Sunday evening August 8th we will be sharing how God allowed us to serve him on the mission field.

*Sunday August 8th @ 7:00 pm we will hear from some folks who were part of a church building team in Dewey Oklahoma.

*Sunday August 15th @ 7:00 pm we will hear from our youth about their mission trip to Pascagoula Mississippi.

*Sunday August 22nd @ 7:00 pm will be a time of sharing about our trip to Panama.

*Sunday August 29th @ 7:00pm we will hear about missions and ministry opportunities in
California.

If you are interested in learning more about how God is working in other parts of the world please come out and join us for any of these services.

Quick Update from Panama

We arrived safely in Panama on Wednesday! Our plane was delayed on Tuesday, so we flew out on Wednesday around noon to Atlanta and then on to Panama City, Panama. We are being absolutely blessed by the work that God is doing here in Panama! We have been very busy with all kinds of ministering, from prayer walking, door to door evangelism, and children's actvities. So far four have given their hearts to Christ!!!!
So here are a few pictures until we get home and are able to share more! Buenos dias!

Panama countryside - very beautiful!

A lady that is part of a tribe that we were able to minister to the first day in Panama.

One of the children from the tribe. These children were so precious and loved having their pictures made!

Our team with Pastor Ricardo and his family.
We look forward to the rest of our trip!
