International Missions is an important part of who we are as a church body. In addition to supporting several missionaries around the world, Bethesda has adopted the Fulbe people of Chad, Africa. We have had a continuing relationship with the Fulbe people since 2002, which has included short-term mission projects, long-term missionaries, building fresh-water wells, providing mosquito nets, and most importantly helping spread the Gospel message among this people group.
