Purpose:
The
Bethesda Missions Department, both Home and Foreign, is dedicated to
promoting evangelism, both personal and congregational throughout the
world. Bethesda Church Of God In Christ has long been involved in
missions
and evangelism; and
we know, our Lord’s return is soon. It is
our objective to encourage every leader and every worker in the
church to be aware of the fact that the mission spirit is the necessary
force in up-building the Church everywhere.
Mission
Department Goals:
To educate, train, and
develop preachers and missionaries in all aspects of mission work;
To continue the
progression of the preaching of the gospel in f oreign countries,
especially in areas
where there are no missionaries and areas where
sound doctrine is not being preached;
To
assist in
the completion of the existing building and expansion projects
currently underway, such as our orphanages, schools, and churches.
Durban Natal, South Africa is an area where work is currently in need
of
completion;
To strengthen
our Church growth by continuing to appoint ministers and
overseers to carry out the work;
To continue
conducting periodic visits to the established International Church
Sites;
To provide
better financial assistance in areas where there is severe economic
hardship;
To improve
the efforts for obtaining better financial support for the
foreign works while lessening the struggle. The accomplishment of this
specific goal, upon which the other goals are hinged, will be a direct
result of a reasonable budget allocated for mission work;
