Yesterday was our big "Mission Sunday" at Bethel. The idea was to take a "ministry-fair" and to bring it on stage. We interviewed missionaries, ran a couple of video interviews, even called Peter Conte, a pastor in Africa that Bethel supports.

Folks had a chance to sign up to offer prayer and support to each ministry. I'd love for you to check out our videos...I think they came off really well.

Check out Bethel Blog and watch our videos.

Sunday's Video

On Sunday, we ran a "baby dedication video" as our families came up on stage.

The service was really neat. I tried to grab some video from the sanctuary, but my angle was all weird and people stood in front of the camera!

Pray For Mark...

Hey gang...

For some of you Bethel folks, this will hit home, but I'm asking any and all who stop by here to pray for my friend, Mark Tunnell and his wife, Kellie. I haven't known Mark and his family very long, but they are amazing examples of faith during a very hard time.

A few months back, Mark was diagnosed with a brain tumor. Mark went through all sorts of stuff...surgery, treatment options, etc. God was faithful to strengthen Mark and Kellie and to bless them during that journey. In December, it appeared as if Mark had come through the sickness and was on the way to a full recovery.

In mid-February, Mark started experiencing some seizures and intense pain and I just got word today that Mark is back in the hospital. At this point, the doctors are unsure of what's going on and Mark and Kellie are desperate for answers.

If you could, you please pray for Mark and Kellie Tunnell? I'm praying for wisdom and peace for Mark and Kellie. I'm also praying for agreement among the doctors. If you've ever spent anytime in a hospital, regardless of the illness, you know it's a scary, frustrating thing. Mark and Kellie are confident that God is in control. Mark has a great attitude, facing pain and the unknown like a champ.

I'd really appreciate it. If you'd like to drop a word of encouragement to the Tunnells, you can leave a message for them at their Facebook group. (Search "Praying for Mark Tunnell.) Or you can shoot me an email message and I'll be happy to forward it to them. (toddwrightband@gmail.com)

Thank you for praying, guys. It would mean so much to this family.
