Dear Bethany Friends:Sally and I enthusiastically support the Extraordinary capital campaign because we believe it will provide the necessary resources to achieve God's plan for our church. The possibility of preaching the Gospel message at four strategic locations by the year 2015, eliminating or substantially reducing our onerous debt, and supporting the multi-site effort from a significantly enhanced and well-maintained Greenland campus is a compelling and achievable vision. As fixed-income retirees it will be a challenge for us to support the campaign at the level we desire. Nevertheless, we have prayed about our decision and are committed to making a meaningful, sacrificial pledge because we wish to place God's work ahead of our pleasure. We pray that those of us who have benefited from the sacrifice and vision of our church predecessors will be moved to do the same for the next generation of believers in New England. The opportunity to present the Gospel in a region that is so ripe for harvest is exciting and, we believe, a manifestation of Bethany's willingness to be obedient to our Lord and Savior's admonition to fulfill the Great Commandment and Great Commission. We pray that each member and attendee will give generously, sacrificially and joyfully as we seek to win one more for Christ in our region.
Dennis Runey, Co-Executive Director, Extraordinary Capital Campaign
