SHEPHERD'S GATE
Jeff & Bethany Bracht
& Andrew, Ella and Noah
Shepherd’s Gate embodies our vision in Nicaragua because it both shows that we desire to teach & care for the people of Nicaragua as well as create a safe place for learning & growing. We hope that Jeff’s opportunity to teach at the vet school at UCC will open a gate of learning & motivation to reach people with the knowledge of how to care for animals as well as sharing the Good News that we are asked to share with all nations.
Ministry is living out our faith...everyday.
From 'doing life' with other school families at the Spanish speaking school to working in the clinic at UCC to sharing our faith and lives with those around us...we are never at a loss for learning!

9/25/2011Hi Jeff and Bethany, A prayer for you and Curtis visiting this week: Dear God, You are such an awesome God and never ceases to amaze us as to the way you work in people's lives! We are so thankful that the Brachts are serving the way they are in South America. Please continue to have them do your will! As you know, OBC's Paster Curtis is visiting the Brachts this week and it is wonderful that Curtis is going there to further the missionary partnership. Please get him there safely and allow him to prepare for the love of Christ through the Brachts! As they look to identify ways to serve you, I pray that both are an encouragement to each other and that you give them the spiritual hearts to make them even stronger servants! God, we thank you for the mercy and grace you give us and I thank you for the Brachts and Curtis! We love you God! In Jesus' name we pray. Amen.Al and Shelly Blandeburgo

6/8/2010Jeff and Bethany are some of the most giving people we know. I am most thankful for their time. They have chosen to give their time generously. Because of Jeff and Bethany my wife and I have grown in our marriage as well as our spiritual walk with Christ. I have come to know Jeff personally by being his accountability partner and through this becoming one of his best friends. Throughout our friendship I know that Jeff and Bethany are also very generous and obedient givers with their money. I thank Christ for their family and their testimony. I encourage anyone who has thought about or once said you will support the Brachts...... to please do. I say with confidence and comfort that the Bracht family will and plans to go and make disciples in Nicaragua. Derek and Christine
5/30/2010Bethany, your last post was priceless. It shows a wonderful example of a human being showing both their vulnerability and thier wisdom. To question yourself out loud through speech is exactly what we teach our children. To explore the world through questions and discussions and self expression. We as adults are not above being childlike and open with ourselves and the world.Vicki
