BFI Ministerial Credential (Ordination and License)

Bethel Fellowship International has just added studies in The TABERNACLE written by W. W. Patterson in 1975. The study book of notes was supplied by Gary & LaRue Barnes from their personal library in Cordova, Alaska. It has been scanned page-by-page with color illustrations and made available to you here in PDF format.

For over 40 years Brother Patterson taught the subject of the Tabernacle and used the notes in this downloadable publication. The reader will find additional notes on subjects such as Manna, Leaven, Covenants, Cherubim, the Door, the Sword of the Lord and the Cloud that directly relate to the Tabernacle.

The inside page indicates that Brother Patterson wrote several other Bible studies including: Bible Treasures in Daniel and Revelation, Speaking in Tongues — Sign and Gift,  Great Themes of the Bible, Notes on the Gospel of John, Notes on the Holy Spirit, Notes on the Book of Ruth and Notes on the Pauline Epistles.

BFI does not have any of the above titles available, except for Speaking in Tongues — Sign and Gift, which can be found in the Bethel Book Room in PDF format for easy downloading.

Bethel Fellowship International (BFI) ministers Nils & Andrea OLSON, Jeff & Cheryl EARLYWINE and LES & Louise FRYE prayed over BFI licensed minister Rie DOSS on Wednesday, September 10, 2014, and commissioned her to preach the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ with an endorsement of ministry as a Hospital Chaplain.

Rie’s first husband, Jim Kroetsch, was a BFI minister in Japan where the two of them worked together in wedding ministry on the island of Kyushu. He passed away from ALS (Lou Gehrig’s Disease).

Rie has continued her desire to minister to people by graduating with a Master of Divinity from Multnomah Biblical Seminary in Portland, OR this year. She is a graduate of Tokyo Christian University. Her education includes Clinical Pastoral Education at Good Samaritan Regional Medical Center in Corvalis, OR. Rie is beginning a new aspect of ministry as hospital chaplain in the Portland VA Hospital. Rie and her husband Calvin Doss live in Vancouver, WA.

BFI looks forward to hearing more of the Lord’s work through Rie’s work of comfort and hope as she ministers to those in need.

Bethel Fellowship International credentialed evangelist STEVE WALL recently sent photos of an annual event that he plans for the wedding venue where he works in Nagoya, JAPAN, a city with a population of about 2.3 million. For the past three years, he has been the Bridal Pastor of a company called “BRIDE TO BE” and their AILE d’ANGE Chapel located right in front of the Nagoya Japan Railway Station.

Steve blesses couples and their children ― “Almost three years ago, God blessed me by being able to work with a wedding chapel whose owner takes the ministry aspects of weddings very seriously. Usually a week before the wedding ceremony, I meet with the couples for a time of orientation and, as God leads, a time of counseling. Once a year we have a baby dedication and blessing meeting. Couples I have married that have had babies are invited to the chapel for that service,” Steve related.

Not all of the more than 100 couples Steve marries in a year are able to attend the special event, but as you can see, the ones who do attend certainly return home having been blessed.

Steve works at the chapel as the on-staff Pastor and finds himself often asked to pray for the entire staff before company meetings. In addition, he is sometimes asked to counsel various staff members as needed.

Steve and his family live in Seto City and are involved with, and support the Parkside Chapel on the east side of Nagoya. He and his wife, Noriko, are very committed to their daughters’ school, the International Christian Academy of Nagoya (I CAN). An important part of the school’s curriculum is the theme “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” Steve and Noriko support the expatriate teachers as they settle into their work in Japan. Steve also said, “I’ve found myself to be the school’s ‘go-to’ guy to fix and do various remodeling jobs as they arise.” Noriko works in the school office on a regular basis.

Sachiko, 17, holding the baby, has attended the BFI Youth Camp several times . . . and last year she brought along her younger sister, Natsumi, 16, left, for the first time. They are both fluent in English and Japanese. Sachiko is an avid golfer. Natsumi loves the country life. She often spends summer and sometimes even winter vacation in the country at her grandparents’ home on the island of Kyushu. Both girls have helped their Dad in his work at the wedding chapel.

Being a foreigner living in Japan can at times be frustrating, especially for a man when it comes to finding good Christian fellowship. Steve is one of three men who began a Men’s Prayer and Fellowship Group. The men are truly committed to meeting and have recently begun their second year of weekly meetings in Nagoya.
