Are You Prepared?
Thank you for stopping by Bethel Ministries. Our Lord has called us to perform many acts of self-less LOVE. We can only fulfill this request by equipping ourselves to carry forth this mission. We advocate higher learning and preparedness for the challenges of ministry! Our call is to educate and prepare individuals, Pastors, Chaplains, Christian Workers, Ministers, Christian Counselors, Christian Therapist, Missionaries, Bible Instructors, Christian Domestic Intervention Specialist, Drug and Alcohol Abuse Responders, Church Administrators, etc., as a directive issued by God.
We are living in an age of "Enlightenment and Education." In every phase of life, the LAW requires us to acquire the educational skills needed to function in that particular field. However, when it comes to the soul or spiritual well-being of individuals we put on willful blindness.
We stick our heads in an archaic hole that says, "you don't need to go to school or receive theological training, God will give you everything you need through osmosis or the power of the Holy Spirit," all-the-while expecting God to do for us what He has commanded us to do for ourselves "study to show yourself approved to God, a worker who does not need to be ashamed, rightly understanding and dividing the word of truth" 2 Timothy 2:15.
Would you go to any professional officiate, doctors, dentist, OBGYN, or surgeon to correct an issue of imminence with you if they did not have the correct training and preparedness for the task? The answer is absolutely NO!!!! Because the value that you place on your life is very high and you want your survival rate to be at its best.
That is exactly how we feel about our souls and spiritual well-being! Should we expect any less from our Spiritual Leaders or Spiritual Guides? The guidance of an individual will determine where that individual will spend eternity.
God proclaimed through his prophet Hosea, "My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. Because you have rejected knowledge, I will also reject you ...Because you have forgotten the law of your God..." Hosea 4:6. As believers, we are instructed to "Go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you...." Matthew 28:17.
How can we teach what we ourselves have not learned? We are a one-of-a kind ministry of presence with ministers, affiliate ministries, and churches worldwide. We come from all faith groups, ethnic, gender and educational backgrounds, obeying the command of God. We are looking for real people who are serious about their calling. The members of Bethel Ministries International are very real, hard working people reaching out to the needy throughout the United States and around the world.
