Bethel Giving Away Money
Well, it’s money to spend at Amazon.com. And you thought we were giving you free tuition money just by clicking on this story. Come on. That’s too easy!
But here’s something else that is easy. We’re holding two contests this month and giving away two $25 gift certificates to Amazon. What do we want you to do? First, we want you to tag our Bethel Magazine Online page in a status update on Facebook. Not sure how to do that? It’s simple! Watch this video for easy-to-understand instructions.
Second, we want you to leave a comment on your favorite story (or stories) here on the magazine site.
See below for all the official rules and guidelines, and then go tell all of your friends about it!
Bethel Magazine Online Comment Contest Details
To Enter:
- Leave a comment on any post on the magazine site. Be sure to include an active email address, as this is how we will contact the winner.
Rules:
- You may enter more than once by commenting on multiple stories or blog posts, but your comments must be meaningful in order to count for the contest. (No copying and pasting the same comment over and over again on multiple stories, and don’t try to be sly and say “comment.” We’re looking for meaningful interaction here, people! )
- Each (meaningful) comment will count as one entry.
- The contest begins today, January 14, and will go until midnight on Monday, January 31.
- On Tuesday, February 1, all contest entries will be put into a hat and we’ll draw one winner. We will then post a video of the drawing on the Bethel Magazine Online website (right here!), announcing the winner.
- The winner will be notified via email and will receive an electronic gift certificate for $25 for Amazon.com.
Facebook Contest Details
To Enter:
- Tag our Bethel Magazine Online page in a status update on Facebook. The status can say anything you want – you could link to a magazine article, or tell your friends why they should “like” us, or say how impressed you are with the Marketing and Communications staff.
Rules:
- One entry per person.
- You must tag us so your entry will show up on our page – otherwise we won’t know that you have entered. (See below for video instructions on how to tag a page in your status update on Facebook.)
- The contest begins today, January 14, and will go until midnight on Monday, January 31.
- On Tuesday, February 1, all contest entries will be put into a hat and we’ll draw one winner. We will then post a video of the drawing on the Bethel Magazine Online website (right here!), announcing the winner.

This sounds like a good way to get people more involved and engaged with what is going on at Bethel. These online tools allow for a real conversation about what’s happening at Bethel, rather than just a one-way report of information, and that sort of conversation is good for both the college and those interested in what’s going on.
I loved the article on Dr. Kathy Gribbin…I had her for a speech class at Bethel of course. I learned so much from her and she was such an inspiration then. Also heard her speak during one of the Adult Chapels, and once again she was an inspiration. The article just highlighted what an amazing person she truly is.
