At Bethel Brandon, we are excited to be wrapping up this year with what we are calling Year-End IMPACT 2023. We are excited that we can again focus on extending the love and compassion of Jesus Christ to our neighbours – our city, our country and the mission fields abroad. We’re continuing to Be-the-light, Be-the-link, Be-the-love, Be-the-life! What better way to end the year than to make a difference in the lives of others and build the Kingdom of God?

We have prayerfully selected a few ways we believe we can make a spiritual investment in missions, and after that, by investing in the effectiveness of our own ministry plan here at Bethel Brandon.

This year our focus will be:

  1. Local Missions Project – Samaritan’s House Food Hampers: $5,000
    Our local Samaritan’s House has seen an increased demand for individuals and families needing food hampers; as well as increased food costs to supply these hampers. Currently, it costs about $75 / hamper. Gifts to this project will help feed families who need assistance, here in Brandon.
  2. Community Outreach & Benevolent Budget: $10,000
    Every year we host community events which include, but not limited to, Easter Eggstravaganza, Water Fight, Fall Carnival, and PD Day Camps. Our chocolate budget alone is about $5,000 for these events. We want to continue to tangibly show that Bethel Cares for our community through these events; as well as continue to extend care to those in emergency/benevolent situations.
  3. Operational Budget: $35,000
    This fund is vital for us to serve our church and community with excellence, and includes staff salaries, building improvements, curriculum and supplies for our children and youth programs, cleaning supplies, and the ever-increasing cost of utilities.

Between now and the end of the year, would you prayerfully consider how God might lead you to give to Year-End IMPACT 2023? As you make your year-end tax-deductible gift either online, via mail, or in a worship service, please indicate the amount of your gift that is intended for Year-End Impact 2023. For donation options, or to give online, click here. 

We would be remiss if we didn’t give you a brief update of what we have accomplished so far this year! Through your giving, we have been able to bless so many. We helped to bring another family from the Ukraine to Brandon and find a home for them to settle into. We continue to support Pastors Ricardo and Gloria in the Philippines – helping them fund a feeding and evangelistic program for the children in their community. We continue to host PD Day Camps for families in our community; the children and families express gratitude often of this program; and we had record attendance for our Fall Carnival this year (nearly 800 people).

Thank you for considering expanding your generosity in this way. Together, let’s see what kind of impact we can make as we close out 2023! May you experience God’s richest blessings this Christmas Season!

Yours in Christ,
