Fall 2018 Magazine

28 Magazine.BethelCollege.edu God is doing some amazing things at Bethel right now. Lives are being transformed, facilities are being upgraded and the spiritual vitality around campus is palpable. We truly are in a GROW era here at Bethel and we are so thankful that you are partnering with us to help challenge the mind, enlarge the vision and prepare our students for lifelong service. I am reminded of Exodus 25, where God instructs Moses to gather an offering of gold, silver and bronze to build a tabernacle that could be used to dwell in among His people. God wanted the offering to come from all those whose hearts were prompted to give. Further, God chose two men, whom He filled with His spirit, to have wisdom, understanding, knowledge and craftsmanship. Like this Old Testament example, at Bethel God instructs, our leadership asks, people partner, students design and build, and God gets the glory for the results. And just as God instructed Moses to gather an offering of gold, silver and bronze to build His tabernacle, God, through His spirit, continues to encourage those “whose hearts are prompted to give.” Thank you for your partnership in giving to Bethel College. Blessings, Rich Cummins, CFRE Vice President for Institutional Advancement THANK YOU FOR GIVING TO BETHEL! “THE LORD SAID TO MOSES, ‘TELL THE ISRAELITES TO BRING ME AN OFFERING.
