It was kinda funny…I thought I was posting in the right spot but instead I posted in the “About ” section….anyways.
I wanted to give ya’ll an update of how things have been going at Bethel. We just kicked off our Hand in Hand Sponsorship Program. It is designed to get our older member active in the life of our children and youth. We have sponsorship packets, similar to Compassion and World Vision Packets, that our members can take home. We ask that they commit to one year of sending monthly cards, praying for their child and a few other things. Please pray that this sparks something at Bethel. I do have one other prayer request. March 21st – I am taking a group down to Kiln, MS. We are struggling with keeping kids and adults motivated to go. I have had people bow out left and right (offering nothing but excuses) Now some students feel that because adults haven’t shown much or any interest at all……why should they. Please pray that God would move certain adult in our congregation to realize the importance of this trip and get the excited to be a part.
- thanks Anne Ardapple

Anne-
First off, you have the most awesome name in the world. Thank you for that.
That sponsorship idea sounds awesome! I will pray that it works out well. That sounds like a great idea to bridge the gap between generations, which we all know was a big topic of conversation at our last meeting.
Wow, that sounds frustrating about the mission trip. I sometimes go through pre-trip jitters. I think it’s a time that God just totally stretches our faith and just aims to make it work. We’ll be praying that God will ignite a fire for that, and students will see your passion and excitement for it. Praying for you!
