Bethany WELL

From time to time, we post some congregational prayer requests here for all who read to respond in prayer. Late Saturday night/Early Sunday morning, one of our sisters (Tsitsi) whose family lives in Zimbabwe got word that her sister was in a car accident. Although the sister (Kundai) is doing fine, she lost her youngest [...]

Every thanksgiving, I am reminded of a little Chinese Boy. [No, not that guy on the right. Good movie, though.] Instead, I am reminded of a time when I was in Shanghai on Missions back in ’95. We were teaching English to a bunch of grade school kids from Xian. And we went to a [...]

What would you do if you looked down and saw a wallet on the ground? Would you pick it up and return it to its rightful owner? Or would, rifle through it and look for any cash and then drop it in the nearest garbage bin. Well, apparently, Burger King is rewarding ‘good samaritans’ for [...]

I wanted to let you know about some prayer concerns in our congregation. First of all, I received a phone call from Christine. we prayed for her grandson in Zimbabwe on Sunday. Denzel was admitted to the hospital with sever diarrhea and a fever. I was told by Christine today that he has been released [...]

On Sunday, I provided an Election Primer for the upcoming election. There are three basic sections. The first is a blog post by Ben Witherington III called a Voters Guide for Evangelicals.

The church is called Dunamis Ministries and is led by my friend, Chan Kim. That’s not him in the picture; Sacramento, being the capital of California is [...]

Recently, during my sermon Q&A on the series God Will Hunting, I spoke about the question, “Is he/she the One for me?” If you haven’t listened to that sermon, I encourage you to do so. If you still have a question about it, I encourage to interact in the comments or through email. However, one [...]

We at the Well have been following the situation in Zimbabwe for many months. There was the election, the contested results, the sham run-off election and now, in what will be hopefully an end to strife and a beginning to peace, it seems a power-sharing deal has been reached. Incumbent President Robert Mugabe and Democratic [...]

Today marks the 7th Anniversary of 9/11. Many of the Well blog readers may not know, but this very congregation lost one its members in the North Tower of the World Trade Center, Andy Kim. Andy was and remains to be very dear to the people that knew him. At the time of his death, [...]

On Sunday, I preached from Romans 12:2 – “Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is — his good, pleasing and perfect will.” As an illustration of the level of [...]
