are committed to playing a role in the fulfillment of the Great Commission.  Jesus commanded His church to take the Gospel message to all nations.  For that reason, the Missions Committee at Bethesda has continued to encourage and support missionaries who not only help their fellow man through acts of charity and mercy, but who also seek to proclaim the Good News of salvation so that the people of the world might enter into a saving relationship with the One who loves them!</div> </tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP><NOBR><div> <IMG SRC="082fd180.jpg" border=0 width="253" height="280" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0"
