Our Why
After a mission trip to India, our hearts were deeply moved by the unjust challenges faced by women and families. We saw the vulnerability of pre-born children, the most defenceless members of society and felt a strong call to protect them. The impact of abortion and infanticide reaches far beyond the womb; entire families experience loss, trauma, and life-altering pain.
This experience sparked a passion and a commitment to empower local communities—a mission that continues today through Bethel House.
Doug and Anna Roth, the founders of Bethel House India, answered this call with humility and faith. Their dedication lit a flame that still shines brightly across India.
Today, Bethel House operates as a project under Devxchange, a network of volunteers united by one purpose: People Helping People.
BHI Founders
Doug & Anna Roth had a passion to make a difference in the lives of others, and it was India that captured their hearts. Through their annual trips to India, they developed deep and long-lasting relationships across India. Doug & Anna’s passion to facilitate educational workshops and begin planting life centres were the grass root beginnings of what is now Bethel House India.
Tribute to Anna Jane Roth 1951 – 2024
In her 73rd year Anna, co-founder of Bethel House India, went home to be with Jesus, her Lord and Saviour, on Tuesday, January 16th, 2024. She and Doug were married for 40 years. She was loved by countless people and will especially be missed by Doug, her children Victoria, Rebecca & Daniel, and their spouses and grandchildren.
She served the Lord through the BHI ministry and visited India on several occasions. Anna and Doug faithfully met with local Church leaders and encouraged those involved in Sanctity of Life ministries. Anna will always be remembered for her beautiful smile and gracious spirit. Anna was a gifted speaker as she radiated the Lord to all she encountered both in India and at home through her home church and neighbourhood.
