Friends of Bethel

Over recent years, we’ve invited Christians from all over the country to visit Bethel and share their own stories with us.

“We set our standards, but when you get there, it doesn't fulfil what you think it will.”

“Suddenly a masked man smashed through the driver’s window with an iron bar and began beating Dad to death. There was nothing Dad could do — he was trapped in his own seat, receiving blow after blow. And it was there he died, suffocating on his own blood.”

“He tried to kill me — but when I met him, I liked him”

“God has kept me and given me strength through some very difficult times”

“'Pan-Am Flight 103 has exploded'… the unthinkable slowly expanded, filling not only our minds but every nerve and cell of our bodies… That’s Helga’s flight.”

“I opened a Bible and the words “the truth will set you free” just stared at me. The next eighteen months were the best in my life.”

“I felt that God was calling me to speak out against Robert Mugabe ”

“Our Christian faith has helped us every single day – if we hadn’t known that God is with us even in the most difficult times, we would probably never have been able to cope. ”
