BETHANY JUNIOR COLLEGE

One of the concerns of the ministry has been that none of the children would have to go to a secular college in order to get higher education. Much prayer was lifted to our heavenly Father to ask that the Bethany Bible College might be inaugurated in time for an entering class in 1996. By God's grace, a young fifteen year old American who was visiting the ministry donated fifty dollars he had brought for spending money to start the college. God has multiplied that gift, and now, the building houses the Junior College, along with classroom space for Telugu Medium school students. Student enrollment has increased steadily since that time.

Government accreditation has been granted, however, there is still a need for special educational equipment and supplies: There must be an adequate library. Books are needed in such areas as theology, history, math, science, medicine, literature, and so forth. Laboratory equipment is also needed to stock the science labs. One significant goal is to compile a first rate evangelical theological library which will be an important resource for missionaries, pastors, students and Christian workers in that part of the world. To our knowledge, there is very little, if anything, by way of such a resource in India.

BETHANY NURSING SCHOOL

In 2005, the government granted full accreditation for Love-N-Care Ministries to inaugurate a training program for nurses. This is in keeping with the Lord's leading to create a modern, technologically advanced medical ministry (see the link to "Medical Ministries")

BETHANY DISABLED TRAINING CENTER

One of the needs that is very prevalent in India is ministry to people with disabilities. Many severely disabled people are forced to live as beggars, and are stigmatized by the vast majority of the society. The Lord gave us the call to reach out such people with spiritual hope and practical help to provide them with training that would enable them to earn a decent living through computer training and tailoring training. The administrator of the disabilities training program is a young man with severe physical disabilities, who has demonstrated that he "can do all things through Christ..."
