For six years now, Bethlehem Baptist Church has sent out a short term missions team to minister alongside Northern Irish believers in Kilkeel, Northern Ireland. Our mission is the proclamation of Jesus Christ in the context of evangelism and relationship-building, with a particular focus on facilitating reconciliation between the divided Catholic and Protestant communities in this historically tense region.
The 2013 trip is scheduled for July 12-27.

"For what we proclaim is not ourselves, but Jesus Christ as Lord, and ourselves as your servants for Jesus' sake. For God who said, 'Let light shine out of darkness' has shown in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. But we have this treasure in jars of clay, to show that the surpassing power belongs to God and not to us."
2 Corinthians 4:5-7
