Project 82 (P82 )responds to God’s call to protect, love, and care for the weak and the vulnerable in Kenya and has a long-standing relationship with Mt. Bethel. 

As one of its founders, a Mt. Bethel member, states, “In 2009, we were a group of ordinary people united by our common heart for orphans in Kenya. Together, we’d experienced firsthand the abject poverty and lack of family stability that plagues so many children of Kenya, and we could not turn away. After witnessing the stunningly beautiful souls and the amazing promise that lives inside each child, we knew we were called to act, and Project 82 was born.”

Homelessness & Extreme Poverty

BackPack Blessings partners with two elementary schools and the Salvation Army After School Program to reach children who qualify for the federal Free and Reduced Price Meal Program and have little to no food on the weekends. 

In 2011, one of our members recognized the need for a ministry to address the issue of food insecurity in Cobb County, particularly at Fair Oaks Elementary School in Mableton. Through volunteer participation, financial donations, and the use of a nearby home owned by Mt. Bethel, BackPack Blessings provides backpacks filled with child-friendly foods each Friday to students who qualify.

SIFAT (Servants in Faith and Technology), a nonprofit Christian organization, provides training in community development in hard places in our world. Christian leaders learn self-help skills for basic human needs including physical and spiritual needs, social and economic.

In 2008, SIFAT asked Mt. Bethel to send a team to support a large project to build a footbridge over a dangerous river. This was unlike any mission trip we had supported previously, but became one of our most rewarding. We have invested in a training facility in Costa Rica which will enable us to offer family-friendly mission experiences. In years not affected by travel restrictions, Mt. Bethel Missions typically offers a Men’s Mission trip to Bolivia. Our youth have also been part of a “Learn and Serve” Summer Experience with this partner.

Rick Bonfim Ministries began over 60 years ago in Brazil.

Because of the Lord’s provision, this program has been sustained for over half a century, and RBM continues to serve the poor on a daily basis.
