 WE NEED YOUR HELP!

          We here at Bethel want to thank each and every person and church that has supported this work, or is currently supporting this work with financial assistance, physical labor, and most importantly, with prayers.  We have come a long way on the rebuilding of our church facility, but there is still a lot to be done before we can get the permit to occupy it.  We know that everybody is struggling in the current economy and funds are tight, but we also know that God didn't bring us this far tohave us stop now.  It's been over five years and it becomes discouraging sometimes because we have not been able to complete this building.

           We have compiled a list of things that the Fire Marshall said had to be done before he would give the approval.  Then we have the rest of the things to do to finish the building.  Some we have bids on, some we do not.  They are:

 Handicap Ramp     $12,000.00

Piano Repair      $5,000.00

Painting Exterior     $15,000.00

Dirt Fill      $3,500.00

LABOR FOR ALL OF THE ABOVE

          It has been reported in the daily newspaper that the Lakeview community is one of the neighborhoods that is coming back strong, because of the young couples buying and moving in.  That means to us more people to tell about Jesus and seeing more souls saved.  With your prayers, financial help, and labor we will see this church become the lighthouse for Jesus that it was in the past.
          We are asking once again for your support.  We are unable to complete this project without the help of God's people.  Please pray about this work and the financial needs.  We KNOW that God is in it.
