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.

What a great visit we had with Dr. Kunkle, Mr. Kunkle and their faithful dog Abbie! (Mr. Kunkle is the artist that did the painting in the foyer at the women’s campus). They have been such a big supporter since the start of the women’s campus and continue to be such a blessing to the ladies. Today they brought wonderful gifts for each of the ladies. The ladies smiles say everything about the gratitude and joy they shared with the Kunkle’s today! We sincerely appreciate their continued support and passion for the ladies here at Bethel.  ...

The Bethel Colony of Mercy students had such a wonderful time at the Little John Methodist Christmas Trail this year! Every year, Little John Methodist Church invites us to walk through their live Christmas trail—complete with beautifully displayed scenes along a peaceful country path that tell the true story of Christmas. From the manger to the angels’ announcement and beyond, each stop helps remind us what this season is really about: Jesus—God’s greatest gift.After the trail, the guys enjoyed hot chocolate and the warmth of a campfire, fellowship, and the joy of the evening. We want to give a big heartfelt thank you to Little John Methodist Church for your love, devotion, and the tremendous effort you put in every year—not only for us, but for your whole community. Your investment in sharing the message of Christ’s birth is appreciated more than you know. “For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given…” – Isaiah 9:6#BethelColonyOfMercy #ChristmasTrail #JesusIsTheReason #LittleJohnMethodist #Hope #Faith #Grateful Hearts ...

Our October/November Bethel Colony of Mercy newsletter may have gotten a little behind schedule this year — but before it left the building, something special happened. Our students and pastors gathered together, laid hands on the newsletters, and prayed over them — asking the Lord to guide them safely to every mailbox and to use every word, testimony, and message to encourage, strengthen, and reach hearts for His glory. Even though the schedule was tight, our students worked hard and did an amazing job getting everything put together and ready to mail. And now — it’s officially on its way!We are so grateful for all of you who receive, read, pray, and support this ministry. Your love and partnership are part of every story of freedom and transformation happening here at Bethel.Thank you for walking this journey with us.May God bless each of you richly for your prayers, support, and faithfulness. “And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus.” — Colossians 3:17#BethelColonyOfMercy #JesusChangesLives #NewsletterPrayers #GratefulHearts #MinistryFamily ...

What a powerful day at Bethel Colony of Mercy as several of our students took the step of baptism—turning their lives over to Jesus, or rededicating their hearts to Him! These moments remind us exactly why Bethel exists: to see sins broken, chains of addiction shattered, and lives transformed by the power of Jesus Christ. Every testimony, every raised hand, every changed life points back to God’s mission for this ministry—bringing hope, freedom, and restoration to the addicted in America and around the world. We rejoice with each one who made this life-changing decision today. God is still saving, still restoring, and still making all things new!“Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has passed away, behold, the new has come.” – 2 Corinthians 5:17#BethelColonyOfMercy #Baptism #JesusChangesLives #ChainsBroken #NewLifeInChrist #HopeForTheAddicted ...
