​

There is no set charge for ministry offered by Bethesda by the Sea. For each program described below there is a suggested contribution amount. We do not want to see anyone in ministry who is struggling and in pain go without finding the help that they need. No one will be turned away due to a lack of financial resources.

​

At the same time, please understand that Bethesda by the Sea, an initiative of Sons of Issachar Ministries, Inc. (SOI 21) is supported solely by contributions for Christian counseling and prayer ministry, and from tax-deductible gifts to Sons of Issachar Ministries, Inc. (SOI 21) The specific suggested contribution for counseling will depend upon which counseling package you choose. One hour of counseling is 45-50 minutes. During multi-hour sessions, breaks will be included.

 

In addition to the contribution that you make,  Bethesda by the Sea is able to receive donations on your behalf from third parties, such as a sponsoring church, supporting organization, foundation, family member, or friend.  When someone in need is willing to ask for help from their support network, God provides in miraculous ways. Your church, friends, or family would be willing and honored to give a designated donation toward your visit.

 

This ministry is an IRS-approved 501(c)3 charitable organization. As a result, after sharing your financial need with those in your relational network, any donation made on your behalf to Sons of Issachar Ministries, Inc. (SOI 21) will be applied toward the suggested contribution amount. All third-party donations are tax-deductible, and each donor will receive a receipt for the gift.
