Bethel Baptist Church


Lindsay, James and Gareth

Time to meet the Gwynne Family

It is a real privilege to testify that our small family were all saved as children; Gareth at the age of eleven, Lindsay at the age of seven and most recently James only three.

God began to challenge us about full time service for Him, with Child Evangelism Fellowship®. In God's TIME we headed of to Kilchzimmer, the Leadership Training Institute® in Switzerland, and took the course during summer 2006.

When we returned home we began our year of practical training in the North East Down Area. We had many wonderful opportunities to put into practice all we learned at the institute plus gain many new skills. It was a blesséd TIME. Our TIME in training quickly came to an end but we looked to the Lord for direction and He again proved faithful. Revealing clearly to us from His word that our TIME in North East Down was coming to an end and it was a TIME for change.

Elijah: "The Lord hath sent me to Bethel" 2 Kings Ch 2 v 2
Elisha: "Returned to Bethel" 2 Kings Ch 2 v 23
Amos: "In due time Amos arrived at Bethel"
Obadiah: "when Jacob reached Bethel he Pitched his tent"

Our Bethel was confirmed to us as we considered the work to be done in County Armagh. This proposal of moving County and Home brought fear and worry but God overruled again through His word.

Haggai Ch 1 vs 7-13 "Consider your ways. . . Fear not . . . I am with you, saith the LORD."

Fear has given way to faith as we continue to labour for the Lord among the Children of County Armagh.

Take TIME to read our prayer letter and pray for the Children.

• We praise God for all His help over our first summer in County Armagh. There has been so much to praise and thank God for in answer to our prayers. Gods hand was upon us as we covered many miles over the summer months and we never want to take that for granted.

• Our first Junior camp was excellent. Attended by 29 young people, lead by Nigel Wilkinson with a team of 14 helpers. God certainly answered prayer by sending us a good team of helpers and a wonderful group of young people. We praise God that Leah F. gave her life to the Lord on the Thursday evening of camp.

• Inters camp filled up well with 76 teenagers attending as we once again teamed up with the Mourne area. We had a full quota of 22 leaders all under the watchful eye of Keith Edgar (Camp Leader). God was in the camp and it was a real blessing to be a part of it. Emma H. called upon the Lord for Salvation on the Saturday once camp was over.

• Christian Youth in Action week was a real blessing. 24 young people stayed at Richhill Presbyterian church going out into the surrounding County to conduct 15 5 Day Clubs® reaching an average of 177 children every day. By the Friday afternoon there was 10 children counselled for salvation and one parent who gave her life to the Lord. We left that week with a group of young people encouraged that God heard and answered their prayers specifically. To God be the glory great things He hath done.

• Pray that God would speak on in the lives of those children who heard His Word faithfully taught throughout the summer ministries.

• Pray for the Good News Club® ministry that will be commencing at the end of this month. Pray too that more Good News Clubs would be opened and established in this Good News Club Season.

• Pray for our Area Fellowship Meeting that is to be conducted on Saturday 6th September 2008 at 7.30pm in the Jethro Centre, Flush Place Lurgan. Please plan to attend also and pray for those who report and Rev. Moffett as he handles the Word of God.

• Pray for the various speaking engagements that are planned for the month of September as noted in the dates for your diary below.
