Visiting the New Bethany 

For 80 years Bethany resided at 6820 Auto Club Rd., Bloomington, MN. As the number of residential students plummeted and the cost of maintaining aging infrastructure skyrocketed, it was time for Bethany to move on. With the campus sold, Bethany's staff have moved to a suite of offices 15 minutes from their old location. With staff concentrated on one floor of the new building, it is now easy to gather everyone for staff meetings and updates from visiting missionaries. 

We stopped in for a visit to the new Bethany office space on our recent midwestern  road trip.  It was refreshing for us to interact with staff as we presented an update of our ministry from the past two years. We also heard from several other missionaries who were in town from Texas/Mexico and Kenya. 

By the way, one of our donors received a message when their bank tried to send a recurring gift marked "Payee no longer available" and their gift was refunded back to the bank. But, we are available! 😊This glitch may have happened when the office was moved. Please reach out to us if you have had any trouble with your donations going through. 

Prayer:

1. Pray for Bethany staff as they adjust to their new space and the new mission training and sending environment.

2. Pray for us as we travel on Wednesday to South Carolina to participate in the Celebration of Life service of one of our former teammates from the Philippines Team. We will join Greg Stynsberg's family and friends as they say goodbye to a wonderful guy.

3. Pray for the new men's group I (Steve) have helped facilitate as we find a rhythm and develop our core group of guys.

Serving Christ with You, Steve and Alberta
