The Short-Term Strategy
This year, we sent four mission trips, one right after the other, to pray, serve, witness, and minister on the island of Puerto Rico. These four trips were comprised of over 140 Bethany members, and culminated in a city-wide evangelistic outreach in June. We saw over 1,000 people gather at Luis Muñoz Marín Park to worship God, and experience the official launch of Project Puerto Rico. The first Sunday service of Bethany Puerto Rico began in September of this year, and already more than 50 people are being brought into the life, family & purpose of God on the island!
Next year, we will be sending four more missions trips across the Summer months to continue to strengthen the church plant and serve the surrounding cities. Pray about signing up and joining one of our largest missions initiatives at Bethany to reach Puerto Rico and the Caribbean islands.
God is opening doors, sending people and providing all that is needed. With this initiative, we have seen miraculous doors open every step of the way.
A Missions Base
We stand on the precipice of an incredible mission opportunity to the Caribbean. Over the past several months we have found a piece of property that can be a Missions Base for all that we plan to do in Puerto Rico and throughout the Caribbean. This property is a little over 1 acre, and we have already drawn plans to build a missions base there that will sleep over 30 people. In the coming years, we plan to send many mission teams to support the work there and see a people impacted by the kingdom of God. We will also use this base as a part of our mission training mechanism for young people in Bethany College and leaders throughout the Caribbean.
We can purchase this property and build the three structures for approximately 1.1 million dollars. We have already set aside some of this year’s mission dollars to go towards this endeavor, and we are confident that this mission can become a reality with the Kingdom-mindedness and generosity of the Bethany people.
