We were told about Bethel Orphanage in 1992 and the need that existed there. After visiting, we felt the Lord wanted us to spend time doing what we could to help them. Every building needed repaired, the children were very dirty, they need clothing, and the food was not too plentiful. The Lord gave Brother Knell and Harold a vision for the orphanage. Part of the vision has been fulfilled, that being to have a good director who loved and cared for the children, having a place that was clean, and having food and clothing for all the children.
We were involved in the building of a building that was to be a church and Bible school. The building was completed, but due to some problems that occurred, the building has not been used for its intended use. A part of our vision was to see a church preaching the word of God reaching out to the children and community, and the operation of a Bible school teaching young men and women, equipping them for God's service in Mexico.
