What is Bethesda?
Bethesda Outreach is a ministry of Evangelical Baptist Missions. Bethesda's mission is to encourage and assist local churches in meeting the needs of orphan children, that they may become disciples of Christ. What we think is also really unique about Bethesda is they don't just line up beds in a dorm for the orphans. They have Christian South African couples raise 5 or 6 of the orphans as their own children there on Bethesda's grounds. So the kids grow up in a loving Christian home with "siblings" and get the example of what a mom and dad should be like. They also have a school there and they teach the kids life skills so that when they leave as adults, they have a trade or a skill and can get a job in the workforce to provide for themselves.
