“I’m a totally changed person now. I don’t even recognize the person I used to be. It’s amazing what Bethel House has done for me and my family.”

"Thank God for you (donors). You are the lifeblood of this whole place, and you are the reason we’re able to do this work. And you’re the reason we’re able to do it in such a unique way, and not have to suffer from being regulated by some outside source, but rather be guided by the spiritual principles under which we all operate.”
