Surely you have heard of Amazon
-- after all, it is one of the largest companies in the world. In fact, you are very likely to buy things on their website with some degree of regularity. Did you know that Amazon.com has a program called "Amazon Smile" that enables you to pay exactly the same price that you would by just going to Amazon.com, but instead going to smile.amazon.com, and 0.5% of whatever you purchase will go to the charity of your choice? If you are going to buy something on Amazon anyway, you might as well have 0.5% of your purchase price support a worthy cause. Indeed, that would fit the command of Galatians 6:10: "As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith."

While I may be biased, since Pastor Brandenburg is the head pastor there and I serve the Lord there, I can think of few better organizations to support than the Lord's faithful church in the Bay Area and its Christian school.
If you are a member of a different church and your church already has an Amazon smile account, then you should probably support your church's school, not Bethel Christian Academy. But if your church does not participate in Amazon Smile, or is ineligible for whatever reason, please prayerfully consider having 0.5% of whatever you are buying on Amazon anyway to help Bethel Christian Academy. Thank you for your support! Once you have picked Bethel Christian Academy as your charity of choice, just start your searches at smile.amazon.com instead of at amazon.com from then on.
