ANNUAL REPORT 2011-2012 You were critical in helping us continue to make all of this a reality. Thank you! This feeling of connectedness has fostered a common descriptor used by many in describing the atmosphere at Bethel: family — it’s a dynamic that crosses generations. A MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT I hear frequently from visitors: “There is something different here ... not sure what it is, but I can feel it ... people are real, there is a vibrancy here.” I know that vibrancy is nurtured by our mutual foundation in the living God. This fall Bethel College celebrates 65 years of Kingdom service. We celebrate the fact that Bethel College was founded to be a truly Christcentered academic institution — one that would foster deep connections between its faculty, students and staff; connections that would go well beyond the typical surface relationships of today’s society. In many cases, these connections have resulted in lifelong friendships. Our history includes a rich legacy of such relationships. For instance, faculty investing personally in the lives of their students (some of those students now teach here). Like some of you, I studied with a professor at Bethel who continues as one of my mentors to this day. Some of us even had the honor of having two of the school’s founders invest directly in our lives as well. At Bethel, I made lifelong friends, met my spouse and eventually had children continue their education and meet their spouses here. And like many of you, God deepened my faith through the ministry of dedicated faculty, staff and other students. While unnamed, it is this palpable feeling that helps set Bethel apart from many other colleges and universities. I believe we have been successful in achieving a wonderful, delicate balance between the life of the mind, the leading of the heart and dedicated servant-hood. This dynamic empowers our graduates to have a significant, impactful life through our connections to Christ and each other. At Bethel College, these “Spirited Connections” are found in the spiritual life and academic life; in athletics, the fine arts and student life; in traditional, nontraditional and graduate programs; and in every physical space on our campus — from the classroom, to the Dining Commons, to the residence hall, to the library — “Spirited Connections” abound. We purpose to have Bethel College recognized as a spirited, spirit-“led” community — one that engages mind and heart with a passion to serve others. As an intentional, value- and Christ-centered community, Bethel is not static; connections leap from professor to student, from student to friend, from friend to teammate, from teammate to community, from community to professor, from professor to colleagues through research, from colleagues to prayer groups, from prayer groups to book groups, from book groups to the student writing a paper that will draw inspired connections. Spirited Connections help Bethel community members integrate their faith and learning, integrate their social lives with their intellectual growth and integrate learning into worship. Spirited Connections give Bethel graduates the confidence to go out into the world and serve where they are called. And you were critical in helping us continue to make all of this a reality. Thank you! This connectedness dynamic has once again allowed for many blessings over the past year: • Enrolling more than 2,000 students from 30+ states and 20 foreign countries • More than 900 students participating in service throughout the community, leading to us once again being recognized on the President’s Education Community Service Honor Roll • Being recognized as one of the best colleges in America for building character in students • Continuing our top tier ranking by the U.S. News selection of best Midwest colleges • Receiving donor funding to launch the construction of an expanded campus bookstore and cafe • Launching Bethel’s first full online degree program • Receiving $450,000 in funding from the Kern Foundation to begin a new degree program in pastoral ministries • Our students and faculty and alumni receiving numerous honors for their excellence in scholarship, writing/research, music, drama and athletics The list could go on and on, but you get the picture. God continues to bless Bethel College with a wonderfully rich tapestry of people who make up the “Bethel family.” To the thousands of names contained in this booklet, I want to say thank you for continuing to remember Bethel with your resources. Because of your continued investment in the educational ministry at Bethel, you will see that the college was able to finish in the black again this year. You will find many more blessings highlighted in this report. We hope you will rejoice with us in the many wonderful things happening at Bethel College. We are humbled by your partnering with us in the ongoing care for Bethel and its students. Be encouraged. Christ is still at the Helm! Sincerely, Steven R.

Walter Easton Sue Edington The Mission of an Extreme Kiteboarder Extreme sports enthusiast Kelsey (Waliszewski ’09) Poole is living her dream in Hawaii — merging her passion for kiteboarding with ministry. Poole first encountered the sport while on vacation in Maui during highschool. As she watched a surfer glide over the swelling Pacific waves, then soar 25 feet into the sky with nothing carrying him but the wind and the six-meter kite spiraling above, she dreamed of one day trying it for herself. While in college at Bethel, Poole pursued a four-month youth ministry internship at Hilo Missionary Church (HMC), located on Hawaii’s Big Island. This time, she fell in love with the island’s people rather than its sports, but her kiteboarding dream had not been forgotten. Following graduation, she married fellow youth ministry major David Poole (’09), and the couple moved to the Big Island to serve as youth pastors at HMC, where they worked for a year-and-a-half. During that time, Poole met a local kiteboarder who offered her kiteboarding lessons.The sport’s thrill and adrenaline rush captivated her, despite a two-hour weekly commute to the other side of the island for lessons and the many bumps and bruises she endured along the way. When the couple felt called to temporarily step out of professional ministry, they moved to the other side of the island and soon realized they were already given another ministry: a community of kiteboarders. “We had a time where we were given a platform to literally and verbally preach the gospel as youth pastors,” Kelsey says. “Now, in this season, we just have our lives, and God gave us specifics in how we should live to reflect Him. That’s ministry to us.” Because kiteboarding remains one of Kelsey’s main ministry opportunities, she hopes to travel around the world someday, enjoying the sport and talking with fellow kiteboarders and spectators about what God has done in her life.

control and we just have to follow his lead and go wherever He takes us,” liberal arts major Yonathan Moya (’10) says. Many times, that is easier said than done, but Moya doesn’t just talk the talk; he walks the walk when it comes to following God’s plan for his life. As a regional coordinator for a nonprofit organization called Experience Mission (EM), Moya oversees short-term mission work in Spanish-speaking communities throughout Central America and the Caribbean, as well as in places like Joplin, Mo., and Los Angeles, Calif. Since transforming his calling into a profession in the spring of 2010, Moya has led six different trips, including two separate ones to Port au Prince, Haiti, increasing his nomadic repertoire to more than 11 locations around the world. “I don’t take my traveling lightly. I see every trip as an opportunity to be a tangible picture of [God’s] love and represent His kingdom in everything that I do,” explains Moya. Now, when he is not traveling internationally, Moya spends his time visiting college campuses in northern Indiana and southern Michigan, recruiting students for EM’s fall and spring internship program. Recently, he began expanding toward Columbus and Chicago, in hopes to further diversify the program. “With recruiting, I believe there is something really valuable in building relationships with people,” says Moya. “Since I’m such a relational person, I love just meeting and working with people. Last year at this time, we had 39 applicants. This year we have 139!” 15+ Years of FAITHFUL Giving faithful giving Kevin & Julie Abbott Steve & Rebecca Aldridge Billy Allen Leon & Anne Amstutz Richard Amstutz James & Linda Arnold Gordon & Phyllis

her Friday nights hanging out with friends and eating pizza — but not in the way you might think. Each week, the liberal arts major gathers with other Bethel students and volunteers to feed and minister to the hungry in South Bend. They pray before driving over to the Midas parking lot on the corner of S. Michigan St. and E. Monroe St. When they get there, they make quick work of transforming their trunks into food and drink stations. On a typical Friday, they serve more than 50 people. When the food distribution begins, it is controlled chaos, as many reach out hungry hands. Stork reminds everyone that there is enough food; this Friday there are 80 slices of pizza, 50 sandwiches and more than 100 bags of chips and snacks. Stork, who has been serving since her freshman year, greets several “regulars” with smiles and pats on the back, and they catch up on life. She calls them by name and recalls their stories. “My week would not be complete without Feed the Hungry,” she says. The ministry initially started with former basketball player and current Assistant Basketball Coach Ryne Lightfoot in 2008. And what began as Bethel athletes giving their extra food to those in need has transformed into a weekly ministry with a core group of students and volunteers who consistently go out to serve. Throughout the school year, the majority of the food is donated by Bethel students who use their extra meal swipes to purchase food. Collection boxes (for chips and other nonperishable items) have been set up in residence halls on Bethel’s campus, and Stork says they’ve had a great response. In addition, the Feed the Hungry team gets a discount on Little Caesar’s Pizza.
