About Us
A trust born of love for the land and its people
Bethel Gospel Team is a registered charitable trust working for the welfare of the people of Karnataka. We believe a strong Karunaadu is built from the village up: one child in school, one patient treated, one family fed, one farmer or weaver given a fair chance.
Our work is inspired by the love of Christ, who taught us to feed the hungry and care for the sick. We serve every person with the same care, whatever their faith, language or background.
On 1 November, Kannada-speaking regions come together in one state. The day is celebrated every year as Kannada Rajyotsava.
The state, then called Mysore, takes the name Karnataka.
Bethel Gospel Team begins as a small group of Christian volunteers, offering food, medicine and school support in the neighbourhoods around Bengaluru.
Different programmes and a growing network of volunteers carry the work to towns and villages across the state.
Samarasya, harmony
Karnataka has always been a home for many tongues and traditions. We work with all of them, side by side.
Swavalambane, self-reliance
Our aim is to help families stand on their own feet, with skills, schooling and dignity.
“For I was hungry, and you gave me food to eat. I was thirsty, and you gave me drink. I was a stranger, and you took me in.”
Matthew 25:35 (World English Bible)
