Updates shared by Executive Director Teresita Matos-Post

We’re celebrating 50 years of ministry!

Beth-El Farmworker Ministry has dedicated half a century to supporting farmworker families: providing pathways to food security, healthcare, education, and spiritual growth. This work is made possible by you, our covenant partners and partner churches, whose support and advocacy sustain this mission.

*Isabel and her family lived in a house that flooded during the 2024 hurricanes. After the flood, her house had mold, and she developed a cough that lingered for many months. She was scared to go into her neighborhood grocery store to get the cough medicine she needed after seeing federal agents in the parking lot. Instead of driving home, she came to Beth-El, knowing she would be safe and welcome. We listened to her story, prayed together, and got the medicine and care she needed. These are the ways our mission accompanies hardworking, vulnerable families in the support they truly need every week.

These are resources and stories to share with your session, mission committees, or in worship bulletins!
