Greetings!

Greetings from Bethlehem Bible College!

Summer is drawing to a close and classes are beginning! To kick off this academic year, we are featuring our first ever graduate of BethBC, Saleem Zeidan, in Our Journey section. You'll also find articles about our academic dean speaking in Taiwan and our women's ministry update. One of our volunteers also reflected on their time serving with the College that you'll want to take in. And lastly, this month's Bible Live  features the sycamore tree from Jericho where Jesus called out to Zacchaeus. 

Consider coming and celebrating our 40 year anniversary this November 1st and 2nd here in Bethlehem! Register here . 

Many blessings,
Rev. Dr. Jack Sara
President of Bethlehem Bible College

 First Cohort: 1981
Listen to BethBC's first ever graduate from the class of 1981. Be encouraged by his continued journey of faithfulness. 



Volunteering at BethBC: Forms of Happiness
"Words will never be able to fully express how deeply I was touched or how profoundly I was transformed. "

Bible Live: Zacchaeus Climbing a Sycamore-fig tree
How might we also come and follow Jesus in our current circumstances like Zacchaeus did?


Academic Dean Speaks in Taiwan
“I spoke from my understanding of the kingdom of God as a rival to Empire and religious institutions..."
