A visit to Bethania Foundation India and care centres in India is a life-changing experience in many ways. Alan Lull, lay minister at St. John’s West Bend (Lutheran Church), who has traveled to India many times says, “Traveling to India brings people closer to the Lord. Their lives are changed!” Meeting and talking with the children and staff of our homes and care centers gives visitors a clear understanding of God’s work being done through Bethania Kids and the crucial importance of their support for the ministry. Every visitor brings gifts of the heart that are meaningful to the children and staff, and the children shows the results of God’s great love in their smiles and happy and healthy manner and activity. You will receive an enthusiastic welcome wherever you go and see for yourself how your gifts are used.

We are happy to help you plan a trip for your group that will meet both your own objectives and those of the children of Bethania Kids. The BK Trips Committee is prepared to assist with arrangements for accommodation, ground transportation in India, schedule of visits and events at BK ministry sites, all tailored to the unique requirements of your travel group.
