The original vision of Bethesda speaks of a caring community, caring in the name of Jesus – non specific and eclectic in ministry. There are lots of avenues possible but because Bethesda is a “country” property, the centre lends itself to the practical worker type to be involved and part of the caring community.
Would you prayerfully consider spending time with us at Bethesda working shoulder to shoulder to maintain this special place of prayer and retreat? We are happy to sign volunteer work logs for High School students.
