What Bethel Pentecostal Tabernacle does

Bethel Pentecostal Tabernacle, doing business as Bethel’s Global Reach, Inc. (BGR), is a Texas-incorporated 501(c)(3) non-profit religious and humanitarian organization founded in 2009 and formally organized in September 2010. Headquartered in Houston at 12660 Sandpiper Drive, Suite 59, BGR operates with a lean team of 1–10 paid staff supplemented by a large volunteer base. The organization runs international medical, dental, and humanitarian mission trips serving communities in Kenya, Haiti, Belize, Dominican Republic, Guatemala, Honduras, South Africa, Jamaica, Malawi, Ivory Coast, and Togo, alongside domestic Houston programs including the Drug Free Community Coalition, BGR Bumblebees sewing initiative, Crossroads Mentoring (in partnership with Houston Independent School District), and the newly launched Houston Partnership for Success (HPFS). Over 15 years, BGR reports deploying 3,000+ missionaries, treating 25,000+ medical and dental patients, distributing $15M+ in aid, planting 350 churches, and impacting 300,000+ people globally.

The organization generates revenue primarily through donations and charitable contributions solicited via its website, social media, and EasyTithe online giving platform, supplemented by mission trip participation fees and federal grants supporting domestic youth prevention and mentoring programs. It has no proprietary technology platform and operates on a community-led, event-driven go-to-market model that relies on recruiting missionary volunteers and partnering with churches, schools, and NGOs. BGR sits within the broader Bethel Family ministry network led by Chairman Walter August Jr. and is currently led by President/CEO Pastor Craig S. Taylor, Sr. (since 2025), and has received Congressional and Presidential humanitarian recognitions for its work.
