September 2026 Issue 2

Our new series, A Dream Worth Building, walks through the Old Testament book of Haggai — ten weeks tracing one exhausted, overcommitted community's honest journey from misplaced priority to real hope. This is an invitation to build something that’ll stand for years to come.

Two of Bethany's flagship support groups - GriefShare and DivorceCare - are underway now, and it's never too late to join.

Shay Lavery and George Bukow are wonderfully compassionate GriefShare facilitators who've each lost spouses and understand the pain of grief. They've also experienced healing and restoration, and bring all of this to bear in a group that offers mutual Christ-centered care and support during a time of bereavement.

Scott McKinney brings a tender and kind approach to guiding individuals in a group setting through the complex challenges of divorce.

Both programs utilize the best of pastoral, clinical, and peer-based insights in a workbook and video-style teaching that stimulates personal and group reflection.

If you're hurting from the loss of a loved one, register for GriefShare here.
If you're going through or recovering from a divorce, register for DivorceCare here.

Please join us in prayer this week for:
 
Nepal:
 Let’s continue to pray for the flood victims and their families in Nepal. Bob Clinton, our missionary to Nepal, and his team with First Love Ministries are on the ground in the most affected areas. They continue to offer both practical help and spiritual support. Roads are hard to navigate as many have been washed out. So many people are in need that it’s taking quite an emotional toll on aid workers. Days are long. Like Moses holding up his staff at Rephidim to defeat the Amalekites and needing Aaron and Hur to support his arms (Exodus 17:12-14), we can help Bob and his team keep going in Nepal.

As we pray for the meeting of practical needs, let’s also consider the spiritual battle at hand. A Wycliffe Bible Translator has shared: “Timure is just one of the villages wiped out by the flood. The people in this village speak the “Wara” language, one of the groups Wycliffe works with. 80-90% of the houses in the village are gone, along with most of the people. 39 kids there lost both parents. Among the Wara, there are only 10 known believers (4 of whom are on the translation team). Please pray for this group!”

Imagine what God’s Word in their language can do to bring hope, comfort, a deeper faith and a strong testimony to this village! Pray that His translated Word would speak into lives!

Jessica Wyman working in Ukraine:
Jessica has just returned to Ukraine after a break in the US this summer. Her plans are to work in the western part of the country serving alongside other mission groups and helping with translation. Please pray for Jessica’s safety but also for her to hear God’s voice as He directs her steps from day to day. While the situation in Ukraine looks darker and darker, God is doing something amazing! Pray for the spiritual transformation that is taking place in people’s live.

At Bethany, we believe that work is a gift from God. We are always looking for hard-working, passionate individuals to join our growing team! Current open positions are:

-Communications Coordinator (Part-Time)
