Christmas 2025
Christmas Greetings from Bethel Bible Camp
As we celebrate the birth of our Saviour, Jesus Christ, I encourage us to pause and be thankful. The past 80 years at Bethel Bible Camp have been filled with joy, growth, laughter, and life-changing moments. Campers have grown in confidence, deepened in their relationships with others, and encountered God in meaningful and life-changing ways. Around the campfires, in cabins/chapel/dining hall/rec hall, on the sports field, and during many quiet conversations, God has been at work. When I think of the billions of stars that God created and the size of the universe it is amazing that Jesus,
Though he was God, he did not demand and
cling to his rights as God. He made himself
nothing he took the humble position of a
slave and appeared in human form. And in
human form he obediently humbled himself
even further by dying a criminal’s death on
a cross. Philippians 2:6-8 NLT
Could God have done more??? However, yes He has done vastly more even during the last 80 years at camp. As we look toward the coming year, are we filled with faith and anticipation? Do we look forward to exciting ministry opportunities and the building of God’s community? I sadly, am often filled with anxiety and concern regarding camp, which helps me to realize how desperately I need the very community that God has built for each of us through camp. May we look forward to new and returning campers who can experience God’s powerful love and forgiveness.
From the Bethel Bible Camp Board to each of you, we wish you a joyful Christmas and a New Year filled with peace, hope, and the abiding presence of Christ.
With grateful hearts,
David Letts on behalf of the Bethel Bible Camp Committee
