Year-round Activities for all Ages at First Baptist in Haddonfield.
Pastor Michael left for the Holy Land on January 17. He is teaching English as a second language at the Bethlehem Bible College. (The Bethlehem Bible College Choir visited our church in November of '06.) The college is an interdenominational Christian Bible College, located in Bethlehem, Palestine. It seeks to train and prepare Christian servant-leaders for the churches and society within an Arab context who model Christ centeredness, Godly humility, biblical wholeness, creative mercy and justice in their jobs and ministries as life-long learners. Bethlehem Bible College is accredited by the Palestinian Ministry for Higher Education as a four-year college and the Middle East Association of Theological Education. The college's students are future church leaders in the Holy Land who will serve their local communities in diverse settings. They need prayers, as the challenges they face are many. Pastor Michael will return to Haddonfield on February 13.
