We come alongside Christian leaders
to enrich their marriages and ministries
for the sake of God's Kingdom.

Our home, Bethesda House, is a beautiful haven for rest, encouragement and strengthening. We assist leaders in developing life-long fruitfulness in their marriages, personal lives, and respective ministries. We offer customized marriage retreats, biblically based coaching, debriefing, individual and team retreats, and relationship workshops. As full-time vocational missionaries with Life Impact Ministries (LI), we believe that in caring for, and investing in, Christian leaders of all cultures, God brings about transformation in people and communities around the world.

 

Whether you desire to strengthen and sustain a healthy marriage and ministry, or you are facing pain and challenges, we would love to come alongside of you.

"We invite you to break away from your
day-to-day responsibilities to deeply experience God
and the Hebrew meaning of Bethesda:
House of Grace"

John chapter 5 speaks of Jesus at the Pool of Bethesda, surrounded with hurting people. When an angel of the Lord touched the waters, the first person to enter in received healing. There are many ministry leaders today who wait, metaphorically speaking, for healing of broken and wounded lives.

Because we are a non-profit religious organization, we do not charge for our customized retreats or for space use. We depend 100% on the generosity of our guests and donor friends of this ministry. Our goal is to provide you with a comfortable, peaceful space in a beautiful setting where you can connect with God and one another.

We ask you to prayerfully consider your contribution and anything above this amount also helps to further this ministry. If this prohibits your visit to Bethesda, please discuss it with us further.

*Feel free to ask us about scholarships for overseas missionaries.

Testimonials

Mark and Pam get ministry and they get us. Each day was filled with God inspired “aha” moments. Now we work with one another again, use the skills we learned at Bethesda to “clean out the dryer lint” sooner, and deposit into one another. It was a BREAKTHROUGH and it was a MIRACLE.
Missionary to Indonesia
The weekend was life-giving in so many ways; physical rest, rest from emotional angst, and tools that gave us tremendous hope for the future! The effort you’ve put into making Bethesda so beautiful and peaceful has more than paid off. We will remember our time here always.
Ministry Leader in Europe
We arrived weary and stuck. Today we feel empowered, understood, and hopeful about our next season in ministry and marriage.
Missionaries in Cambodia
I join the chorus of those who testify that your coming alongside me was a pivotal point in my life and in our marriage.
Pastor’s wife
I forgot how very special this place is even apart from the Taft’s. The Spirit of the Lord is present in a powerful way!
Pastor in Charlotte, NC
Thank you for being so gentle, patient, and loving during our sessions. You both made it easier to be open and honest. We will cherish our time and appreciate the pearls of wisdom and the tools to grow as individuals and as a married couple.
