 Director's Corner
Summer 2010 |
|
What a busy and exciting summer as more sponsor families discover the benefits of standing in the gap for women and children. The Moormann Family was certainly blessed as a sponsor family. There are so many opportunities to bless these young women and children, as Unequaled Janitorial and Beta Sigma Phi have discovered. |

Nancy’s Bennett's Story
Once upon a time, about 23 years ago, I found myself in a rather desperate situation. Even at that moment, already His plan was in action to deliver me and put my feet on firm ground. CONTINUE |

Thank you Bethany House supporters Mark and Anita
This awesome couple has supported the program, not only financially, but also by bringing diapers, preemie cloths, baby bottles, a stroller/car seat combo, food, advice on grant writing, and a whole lot more! We appreciate you two. |

Bethany House Believes - Away in a Manger
Every year we come face-to-face with another Christmas Season. And every year we must decide what to do about a story - a story of a baby in a manger – a baby that became the Savior of our world... CONTINUE |

Together We Can!
Loneliness — an emotion that so
many women spend a
lifetime avoiding. No one likes to
feel lonely. So often the women
who come to Bethany House are
not only alone in the world.... CONTINUE

Walking
through the rubble...and winning!
If you’ve been alive more
than two decades, you’ve likely experienced
more than your own fair share of life-rubble. The
rubble in our lives can take on many “faces.” When
we are buried beneath the wreckage of our pasts,
it makes living in the present extremely difficult,
and the thought of the future downright terrifying... CONTINUE |

Sacrifice
Forfeiting, or giving up something,
at first seems unpleasant, even painful at times. In
our world, we cling to our “stuff,” whatever
those special “things” might be. Yet, in
days past, people truly embraced the blessings of sacrifice,
or giving gifts of eternal value... CONTINUE |

How
do you Measure Success?
We live in a world that is
hungry for success. Measuring success in concrete
terms, when it comes to people and their personal
progress, isn't quite as easily defined. In fact,
the compelling thing about success is it looks
different for different people... CONTINUE

The New Vision:
Be part of the future
Friends, we want to update you on some very important decisions. After a session with our visioning team, the input of the board and other associated ministries, we have concluded that it is time to take the next big step, Phase II. It has always been the heart of this ministry to make a deeper impact on these precious lives with an extended program... CONTINUE

Celebrating how sponsor families
help
Most of the young people that went to my school and lived in my neighborhood were statistics. If you weren’t the one out of four that were graduating, you were either going to end up dead, in jail, an addict, a struggling teen mom, or a drug dealer and/or gang member." CONTINUE |

A
marine to be proud of!
Who would have known that the first
child born to Bethany House would be serving our country?
In 1988 Bethany House had its first arrival, baby Lucas.
Like many young women Lucas's mother Cathie found herself
pregnant and wondering what to do...

Dear friends, there is never a dull
moment at Bethany House. When Jack and I started welcoming
young women into our home almost twenty years ago, we
had no idea what God had in store for us.

For over 15 years,
Bethany House has shined its beacon of light in an often
dark and dreary world – a world that promotes and
entices its youth to be sexual, yet cannot offer real
solutions to the teen pregnancy epidemic. There
is hope. And you can help! CONTINUE
