Our Why
Following a mission trip to India, hearts were broken over the unjust plight of women and families. Primary concerns were for the pre-born infant as the most vulnerable in society and how to protect them. The collateral damage that ensues resulting from abortion and infanticide does not only end life in the womb, but entire family constellations also suffer loss and trauma and are crippled by these life-altering events. This ignited flame of passion and a deep desire to empower local communities continues through the efforts of Bethel House today.
Doug and Anna Roth are the founders of Bethel House India. They felt a calling that drove their humble and faithful hearts into new territory. The fire ignited in them continues to burn as a bright beacon throughout India today.
Currently, Bethel House remains a project under the umbrella of Devxchange– a network of many volunteers of 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.
