Narrative
Bethel’s fiscal year runs from April 1 to March 31. As of the end of November, we are 8 months through our fiscal year.
- On Oct. 27th, we had to replace our cracked boiler, a significant unexpected expense. It will ultimately cost Bethel $16,000, spread over 4 monthly payments of $4,000 each.
- We created a special fundraising campaign for this project. November’s financial report includes $9,375 of special donations toward the boiler, as well as the first two payments of $4,000 each.
As always, thank you for your generosity and prayerful discernment as together we continue to extend Christ’s love to the world through Bethel’s ministries.
