Bethel Ministries International

Join me in fundraising for much needed wheelchairs, food, and housing for individuals and families in Guatemala! This summer, I hope to join a team traveling to Bethel Ministries to help with their programs there. Each team member is raising or donating $2,000-$3,000 to support the work our team will do:

Every contribution matters, no matter the size. Thank you for your generosity and for making a difference for those in need!

We are going back to Guatemala in January 2025. A group from several states will be traveling to work with Bethel Ministries International. We are planning all the projects to bless the people in Guatemala. We need your help.

Inflation has continued to make life hard for the people in Guatemala. At a time when we all feel like we need to withdraw and spend less, I’m asking everyone to lead with generosity. Every dollar you donate will make a difference.

God will provide for their needs through individuals, families, churches and organizations. God opens people’s hearts, and they feel led to give in whatever way they can. It would be easy to push this need aside and write it off as “not the right time in your life." I can’t stress enough how urgent the need is in the lives of the impoverished and disabled…and for Bethel Ministries International. They desperately need your help. Now is the time!

Here are the projects you can sponsor:

1. Wheelchair distribution - $8,500 (50 chairs @ $170)

2. House - $4,270

3. Bunk bed - $350

4. Stove installs - $1,320 (6 @ $220)

5. Bathroom install - $850

6. Kitchen - $550

7. Food Distributions - $750 (15 families @ $50)

8. Bibles - $315 (90 @ $3.50)

9. Blankets - $675 (45 @ $15)

10. Wash Station - $85

10. Tabletop stove and gas tank - $200

11. Elderly support – $1,620 (12 months @ $135) – Food, eggs, propane for Lucy

In total, we need to raise $19,485 for our projects.

The wheelchair sponsorships are critical. Not only does a disabled person receive a wheelchair, but that sponsorship also offsets the cost of the staff in the wheelchair shop, providing much-needed employment and benefits. Many of the Bethel employees are disabled themselves.

We continue to support our dear, elderly friend Lucy. We have visited her several times, and she is in a very fragile medical condition and needs life-sustaining food and propane to cook. She is such a joyous person. Lucy loves to sing and share hope with anyone she meets. Bethel visits her monthly to give aid and check on her. I can’t wait to see her again and hear her sing songs to the Lord.

Each man is responsible for paying his own airfare, hotel and food. All donations made on behalf our team go DIRECTLY to the projects. No donations are used for personal expenses.

Please consider supporting our projects. We can’t do this alone. We need your help to make these projects a reality. Christmas and the surrounding holidays are times when people are the most generous. Please share this need with your friends and family. I truly need your help.

There are two ways to give:

1.) All donations made by check to BMI or at GoFundMe are 501c3 tax-deductible. I will personally make up the difference of fees not covered, so that 100% of your donation goes to projects.

2.) Write a check - Mail to my house and I will send to Bethel. Make your check payable to Bethel Ministries International (or BMI). Email or text for my address.

Ultimately, all the support we give to Bethel will be used to bring glory to God and make an eternal and physical impact in the people’s lives. I pray you will consider giving this year. Please tell others. People really do want to help they just don’t know how or where to start. You can help spread the word.

Dios te Bendiga,

Brad

We’re raising money to benefit Bethel Ministries International, and any donation will help make an impact.

This will be Calvary Chapel Sequim’s 4th annual trip to partner with Bethel Ministries International.

Below is the cost breakdown for the needs:

Wheelchair distribution (50 chairs) $8,500

Trucking $460

House project (all materials) $3,200

Wood cook stove with piping $220

Food distribution for families (20) $1,000

Bibles (90) $315

Bathroom (depending on family need) $720

Please consider donating to fill any of these needs! Thank you.

Blessings,

Anna & Ayden Bailey

Great news…we’re finally going back to Guatemala in person in January 2023. For the first time since 2020, a group of men will travel to work directly with Bethel Ministries International. This is one of my favorite times of the year as we begin planning all the projects and ways we’ll bless the people in Guatemala. I need your help.

Rising inflation has made life even more challenging in Guatemala. At a time when we all feel like we need to withdraw and spend less, I’m asking everyone to lead with generosity. Every dollar you donate will make a difference.

While travel restrictions and immunization requirements have been lifted, many volunteer teams have not begun traveling to Guatemala again. Bethel relies on teams to raise money and sponsor projects. With fewer teams visiting, fundraising has been critical for Bethel. They need our help more than ever.

God will provide for their needs through individuals, families, churches and organizations believing in what Bethel is accomplishing. God opens people’s hearts, and they feel led to give in whatever way they can. It would be easy to push this need aside and write it off as “not the right time in your life." I can’t stress enough how urgent the need is in the lives of the impoverished and disabled…and for Bethel Ministries International. They desperately need your help. Now is the time!

Here are the projects you can sponsor:

1. Wheelchair distribution - $8,500 (50 chairs @ $170)

2. House - $3,720

3. Bunk bed - $300

4. Stove installs - $1,320 (6 @ $220)

5. Bathroom install - $720

12. Elderly support – $1,620 (12 months @ $135) – Food, eggs, propane for Lucy

In total, we need to raise $18,755 for our projects.

I can’t wait to see her again and hear her sing songs to the Lord.

As I mentioned, this is the first year since 2020 that we will be going in-person. As a reminder, each man is responsible for paying his own airfare, hotel and food. All donations made on behalf our team go DIRECTLY to the projects. No donations are used for personal expenses.

Please consider supporting these projects. I can’t do this alone. I need your help to make these projects a reality. Christmas and the surrounding holidays are times when people are the most generous. Please share this need with your friends and family. I truly need your help.

There are two ways to give:

1.) You can give online at our GoFundMe campaign - They do charge a 2.9% processing fee. All donations made by check to BMI or at GoFundMe are 501c3 tax-deductible. I will personally make up the difference of fees not covered, so that 100% of your donation goes to projects.

We are going back to Guatemala in January 2024. A group of men from Kentucky and Florida will be traveling to work with Bethel Ministries International. We are planning all the projects to bless the people in Guatemala. We need your help.

Inflation has continued to make life hard for the people in Guatemala. At a time when we all feel like we need to withdraw and spend less, I’m asking everyone to lead with generosity. Every dollar you donate will make a difference.

I need your help for Guatemala fundraising for 2022. This has been yet another difficult year for people around the world. While life in America has still been challenging, life for the people of Guatemala has not improved at all.

Before COVID-19, life was already hard for people in Guatemala. Poverty was a daily reality. No jobs, no food, no hope. Since COVID, life has gotten so much worse. Charity organizations were prevented from visiting people for a very long time. People were literally kept in their homes with no opportunity to get food or help.

While most travel restrictions have been lifted, many volunteer teams have not begun traveling to Guatemala again. Bethel relies on teams to raise money and sponsor projects. With very few teams visiting, fundraising has been critical for Bethel. They need our help more than ever.

God will provide for their needs through individuals, families and churches believing in what they do, and giving to support those causes. God opens people’s hearts, and then they feel led to give in whatever way they can. It would be very easy to push this need aside. Write it off as “not the right time in your life”. I can’t stress enough how urgent the need is in the lives of the impoverished and disabled…and for Bethel Ministries International. They desperately need your help. They need your support. Now is the time!

So, here are the ways you can give:

1. Wheelchair distribution - $8,500 (50 chairs @ $170)

2. House - $3,720

3. Bunk beds - $3,000 (construct 10 @ $300)

4. Stove installs - $2,200 (10 @ $220)

5. Bathroom install - $700

6. Kitchen construction - $550

7. Wheelchair ramps installed - $500 (2 @ $250)

8. Tabletop stove and gas tank - $200

9. Elderly support – $1,620 (12 months @ $135 – Food, eggs, propane)

The wheelchair sponsorships are so critical. Not only does a disabled person receive a wheelchair, but also offsets the cost of the staff in the wheelchair shop, providing much needed employment and benefits. Many of these Bethel employees are disabled themselves.

The elderly support continues to be for our dear friend Lucy. We have visited her several times and she is in a very fragile medical condition and needs life-sustaining food, and propane to cook. She is such a joyous person. She loves to sing and share hope with anyone she meets. Bethel visits her monthly to give aid and check on her.

This is the second year I’m raising funds for projects but will not be able to go down in person to do the work. Due to the travel uncertainty and not wanting to risk taking COVID to the disabled in Guatemala, I’m coordinating with Ben and Emily Mooney once again to use these funds for the specific projects I am raising donations for. I truly want to go, but the cautious thing is to allow Bethel, who is already on the ground there, to use the funds. I have the highest trust that Bethel will use the funds as we desire. I’ve been working alongside Bethel since 2009. They are my friends. They are family. This year, they took photos of the people and projects and gave us detailed feedback on where all the money was spent. All money I would have personally spent on airline tickets, in-country expenses such as hotels and food, I am sending to be used for donations. I have every intention of traveling down to Guatemala in the future. It breaks my heart not to personally go. I think this year has shown us how quickly things can change.

Please consider supporting these projects. I can’t do this alone. I need your help to make these projects a reality. Christmas and the surrounding Holidays are times where people are the most generous. Please share this need with your friends and family. I truly need your help.

There are two ways to give:

1.) You can give online at our GoFundMe campaign - They do charge a 2.9% processing fee (You can opt out of their “tip” option to keep your fees the lowest). All donations made by check to BMI or at GoFundMe are 501c3 tax-deductible.

2.) Write a check and mail to my house and I will send to Bethel. Make your check payable to Bethel Ministries International (or BMI).

Ultimately, all the support we give to Bethel will be used to bring glory to God and make an eternal and physical impact in the people’s lives. I pray you will consider giving this year. Please tell others. People do want to help, they just don’t know how or where to start.

Hello! Thanks for reading about our ministry!

We are a team of 4 (Anna, Ayden, Katie, Hans) from Calvary Chapel Sequim raising money to build homes (typically for single moms) & distribute wheelchairs in Guatemala in partnership with Bethel Ministries International.

Our heart is for those who are struggling to have a safe and secure place to live and raise their children. And for those who are left out of community because they are bedbound and can't afford a wheelchair. Bethel Ministries International is a beautiful group of people who live & serve in Guatemala to reach these vulnerable groups where they are at, and we are blessed to be able to join them.

Over one week, our team will be building 2 houses, custom fit & distribute 50 mobility devices/wheelchairs for the disabled, and share food & Bibles.

Would you consider donating $5, $10, $20 or more to help make these homes and wheelchairs a reality?

Here is the breakdown of expenses:

Trip dates: May 1-8th 2025

Project Total $17,195.00

Team Personal Total $3,200.00

Total

$21,385.00

Any amount donated is greatly appreciated!
