— Mary Ann Richardson, Daytona Beach, FL
“I came to Bethel at a dark time in my life and found a group of believers who became my friends and my support. I have gained new insights into the teachings of God and a new level of understanding of the Bible and my faith.”

“The Bethel Bible Series can bring about many positive effects in the life of a church. It creates a climate where the participants are immersed in the Scriptures, and the most positive effect has been their personal relationship with Christ. Through the Bethel Series experience, our people have met their Savior face to face.”
— Mr. Dean Cooper, Deacon, First Presbyterian Church, Baton Rouge, LA

“It was an amazing experience once again in Tanzania. This is what it is all about; spreading the Good News to all the nations on the earth. I am glad to be part of the team that is doing that, one country at a time. Thank you once again, and may God continue using you in His Works.
— Peter Mumbe
“Tanzania is going to be a different place.”
— Pastor Rogers Audi, Team Leader
“Bethel is still the best Bible study overview I have encountered in 39 years of pastoral ministry and 64 years of living—but not for the faint-hearted!”
— Dr. Robbin MacDonald, Retired Pastor, Safford, AZ
“Because we focus on the study of the Bible, the Bethel Bible Series has a transforming power in the lives of many different kinds of people. In classes, I have had educated people with a Ph.D. degree, people who have recovered from the street and world of addiction, and those who have had little background in biblical literacy. They develop a confidence in sharing their faith and a security in knowing their salvation and what the future holds.”
— John D. Shackelford, Ph.D., D.D.
“Bethel Series points to the Bible itself as the authoritative text. The lessons and their pictures quickly and easily communicate the big-picture summaries of the Bible.”
— Susan Bowling, Franklin, TN
“If ever I am asked to choose between another study and the Bethel Bible Series, Bethel will be my choice hands down. The material is so very Biblical and solid. The writing is at times truly inspiring. In addition, time and again I hear people say they could never have imagined that pictures could be so important to a deeper understanding and appreciation of the Scriptures — but these are.”
— Rev. Charles W. Starks
“Meeting with a dozen folks every week for two years provides a built-in community of growing believers. These students become my ‘disciples’ for two years. They develop the confidence to take on leadership and use their spiritual gifts to serve Christ.”
— Rev. Brian Metke, Trinity Church, Genoa City, WI
“One of the great pleasures and fulfillments of being a pastor is seeing the knowledge of the Lord increase in the lives of the parishioners. Well, Bethel does that very thing. To see and experience the excitement of God’s Word becoming real and alive in the lives of each of these students is so very refreshing.”
— Rev. Timothy “Ty” Harrison, Tyner United Methodist Church, Chattanooga, TN
