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.

“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.”

Alison Stewart

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

Kath Hamm

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

Billy Burns

“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. ”

Alison and Kevin

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

Henry Olonga

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

Garin Jenkins

“'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.”

John Mosey

“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.”

Tamar Pollard

Alison and Kevin’s story

“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. ”

Life has not been easy for either of us, but looking back, we can see that God has always been good to us. 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. And we’re able to testify that although our faith has been tested by the deaths of our spouses, God has seen us through, and we know that they are in a far better place because their trust and hope was also in Jesus Christ alone.

Growing together… in God's Word
Growing Together is a monthly meeting for all those who want to to understand the Bible better, and put into practice what they learn. Each month we cover two topics with plenty of time for discussion and questions. To make the most of our time together, each member of the group reads a short book each month, to help prepare for the discussion.
