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.

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

Kath Hamm

“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

“'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

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

Billy Burns

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

Garin Jenkins

“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

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

Henry Olonga

“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

Garin Jenkins’s story

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

It’s strange, we set our standards, but when you actually get there, it doesn’t fulfil what you think it will. When I was a kid I thought, ‘When I get to play for Wales I’ll have a big car and holidays’, and yes they were nice — but they still don’t fill the void… It was always ‘Next week, I’m really going to start going to church regularly’. I didn’t really want to come out and make a stand for God. I kept telling myself that I wasn’t ready yet.
