TESTIMONIALS

I have personally seen the Lord use Bethel Colony of Mercy in a mighty way in the lives of so many, including myself.  As a former graduate, and now a pastor and Celebrate Recovery Ministry Leader, Bethel Colony has been a tremendous asset to our church over the past 15 years.  Sometimes a person needs more than just a Sunday morning message and a weeknight meeting.  Bethel Colony is a safe, Christ-centered ministry that I recommend to anyone needing a spiritual transformation.

I can’t begin to express my gratitude for Bethel Colony of Mercy, as a Recovery Pastor, as a Dad and being in recovery for over 20 years myself it’s truly a blessing to see the life-changing impact that their program has on men and women bound by the chains of addiction. We have sent many to Bethel who have come out and used what they’ve learned to disciple others in their church and our Celebrate Recovery Program. 
My own daughter was a raging alcoholic, living a life of sin and chaos…. But God! Something beautiful happened to her up on that mountain and she is forever changed and has become the woman of God He intended her to be. She’s now helping other women in their journey.
If you or someone you love is struggling and looking for freedom, it can be found in Christ Jesus at Bethel Colony of Mercy.

Going to Bethel changed my life in so many ways. They helped me understand the Bible and God’s word. Between the classes and personal counseling, I developed a relationship with God and he has rescued me. I developed lifetime friendships and they are always there for me. This is the only place I went for help, and it was the only place I needed. Thank you Bethel Colony.

T.J. graduated in January, ’22.  The chains of addiction have been broken, being at Bethel has truly changed her life around.  She is working, she volunteers helping autistic children with horse therapy, she continues to stay in the Word, she goes to church with her family, she stays in contact with friends she made at Bethel daily and they all hold each other accountable.

Bethel equipped me with spiritual tools to know how to be successful in life. This place has lit the spiritual fire in my soul again.  I learned who I was in Christ; more than a conqueror!

The ministers are truly concerned with every student’s success.  Preachers and counselors have been in shoes that were once not walking with Christ but now are.  You cannot break the bonds of addiction without Jesus Christ.

Awesome teaching, great balance of teaching, structure, and discipline.  The application of Biblical teaching to real life – character, marriage, fatherhood, etc…Only place I’ve ever been with any substance to the teachings.

Today at Bethel Colony of Mercy, our students and staff came together in prayer groups, lifting up every need to the Lord — just as Jesus taught us to do. Prayer is where hearts are encouraged, hope is renewed, and faith is strengthened as we bring everything before Him in unity.Jesus reminds us of the power of praying together:“For where two or three are gathered together in My name, I am there in the midst of them.” (Matthew 18:20 NKJV)On Prayer Day, we gathered across campus to pray for our country, our leaders, our graduates, our military, our families, and the personal needs in each life. We prayed with thankful hearts, trusting God with every request.“Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God.” (Philippians 4:6 NKJV)We are grateful for a God who hears us, meets us where we are, and moves when His people pray together. There is power in prayer — and even greater strength when we stand united in Christ. ... See MoreSee Less

With the devoted help of our faithful donors, prayer warriors, and Bethel alumni, the new Bethel Colony of Mercy auto shop is officially complete and open for business! Sonny Thompson, our auto shop manager, has already jumped right in and is putting the new space and equipment to great use—keeping Bethel’s fleet of vehicles running smoothly so daily operations can continue without a hitch. And we’re pretty sure his favorite upgrade is the new lift — no more laying on cold concrete and breaking your back just to work underneath a vehicle!We are beyond grateful for every supporter who has stood with Bethel through the years and stepped up when a need arose to help complete projects like this one. Your generosity and prayers truly make ministry possible. God bless each and every one of you!“Commit thy works unto the LORD, and thy thoughts shall be established.” — Proverbs 16:3 (KJV)Thank you for being part of what God is doing at Bethel Colony of Mercy! ...

For over 39 years, Pastor Ritchie has faithfully poured the Word of God into the lives of men here at Bethel Colony of Mercy. Day after day, lesson after lesson, he has invested in hearts that are being transformed by the power of Christ. What a blessing to witness generations being discipled and lives being changed through his obedience and love for the Lord.“You therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus. And the things that you have heard from me among many witnesses, commit these to faithful men who will be able to teach others also.”— 2 Timothy 2:1–2 (NKJV)We are thankful for Pastor Ritchie’s faithfulness and for the fruit that continues to grow from seeds planted so many years ago. ...
