Bethany seeks to effectively partner worldwide to accelerate the spread of the gospel. We identify specific challenges and opportunities that warrant collaborative efforts and address root causes rather than just symptoms. The measure is that the Lord Jesus is made known and that His Body is empowered to take the church to where it is not.

Bethany is blessed to work with more than 100 international mission partners serving in 96 countries. This past year the fruit of these united efforts has seen the increase of thousands of new believers and new churches.
