Charles Haspels Bible School

This newly completed Bible School has begun training lay leaders for the seven people groups within the Southwest Bethel Synod of the EECMY. Through their passion for evangelism, Christian believers have started over 25 new congregations in the last five years. Lay leaders are leading the movement but need more training, since most have no Bible training and many have only a sixth grade education. The Bible School is their only opportunity for further education. Funding is needed for student scholarships, training conferences and the envisioned two-year Bible program.

Health Work Bethel Synods, Ethiopian Evangelical Church Mekane Jesus, Ethiopia

The EECMY supports health services throughout the five Presbyterian-related Bethel Synods.

People often travel long distances to clinics that are understaffed and under-supplied. Gifts to this account will improve the ability of these clinics to meet the critical need for health services.
