Bethel Retreat House

“One of the spiritual disciplines that has nourished my soul, perhaps more than any other, is the discipline of Solitude. Having the opportunity to be alone with the Lord in a quiet place for a few days, or even a week, has done more to refresh my soul and love for the Lord, than anything else. The biggest barrier for making it happen in my own life is having a place to go to. I am so glad that there is Bethel Retreat House in India, because I know that this is going to help Christian workers in that part of the world to serve longer and more effectively, because we serve best when were are rested.”
Dr. Jim Van Meter
