The Harvest of Nations—Our Inheritance
This year we want to bring together international brothers
and sisters with like faith and vision to encourage,
strengthen and impart exactly what the heart of God is for
the nations. You will hear from both full-term and
short-term missionaries who are currently on the field as
well as Nationals who are representative of the fruit of
the labor as we enjoy our days together at the First
Annual International Conference.
The Word of God
challenges us in Psalms 2:8-11:8 "Ask of Me, and I will
give you the nations for your inheritance, and the ends of
the earth for your possession. In the New Living
Translation it says "only ask, and I will give".
Then we are encouraged further in Song of Solomon
7:11-13 to go forth, lodge and enjoy the blessing of the
harvest of His love. Come, my beloved, let us go forth
to the field; let us lodge in the villages. Let us get up
early to the vineyards; let us see if the vine has budded,
whether the grape blossoms are open, and the pomegranates
are in bloom. There 1 will give you my love. The mandrakes
give off a fragrance, and at our gates are pleasant
fruits, all manner, new and old, which I have laid up for
you, my beloved.
The call of the Lord in this portion of scripture is
COME my beloved let us go forth to the field and
there I will give you my love.
The field is the world. John 3:16 tells us that "God
so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son".
The love that God has, is for the world. Then there is the
challenge to us from Matt. 28:19, to "go into all the
world and make, disciples of all the nations." His
love is both the catalyst that causes us to go forth into
the fields as well as the message we present to all
nations.
Our desire is to enlarge our vision and strengthen our
passion for all of the nations so we can appropriate the
promise of God to us—the harvest of The Nations— Our
Inheritance.

Featured Speakers
Pastors Fred and Pam Kropp join us from The City
Church in Kirkland, Washington where they serve as Missions
Pastors. They have been in full time ministry for the past
24 years and have ministered in over 27 different nations.
Pastor Fred spends much of his time traveling around the
globe visiting and ministering to the missionaries around
the world. He will share insights to help us better serve
both the missionaries and the nationals of which we are a
part.
Pastor Haney Mandey is the General Chairman of the
Pentecostal Churches of Indonesia. Brother Mandey presides
over 10,000 churches, which were planted as a result of the
missionary ministry from Bethel Temple that began in the
1920s. He also presides as the head over 22 Bible Schools
and leads 2 great congregations in the city of Jakarta,
Indonesia. Pastor Mandey represents the "fruit of the field"
and will minister to us with the heart of the love of God.
Nils & Andrea Olson are Bethel Fellowship
International missionaries pastoring the Munakata Bethel
Christian Center on the southern island of Kyushu, Japan.
Both are graduates of Bethel Temple Bible School. In January
1978 they left to begin their missionary careers in Japan at
Kurume Bethel Christ Church. In 1982, the Olsons pioneered
Munakata Bethel Christian Center, where they currently
serve. The Olson's are "rooted and grounded in the love of
God" for Munakata.
Pastors Mark and Kathy Benton both come from
families that were pillars of Bethel Temple. Mark's parents
and grandparents were key members, while Kathleens parents
were Bethel missionaries to Japan for 38 years. Fourteen
years ago, Mark and Kathleen went to Japan as missionaries.
The Benton's helped plant their first church in the
Nishinomiya/Ashiya area of Kansai. In November 2004, they
led a team to start a new church in Nishinomiya, called
Crossroad Bible Fellowship, where they are presently
ministering.
Monday - Wednesday The evening services are open to all
of our congregations. They will be held in the meeting room
on Mt. Zion top floor.
