We were so disappointed to hear that the snowstorm has cancelled the Bethlem Village for 2009. Our family loves to visit you and it has become a Christmas tradition for us. It helps us to remember that Jesus is the reason for the season. It has been better each year we have visited. May God bless all of you and your ministry. We look forwards to 2010.

Every year my family(my 2 little boys and husband) anxiously await the evening we experience Bethlehem village. The anticipation builds on the drive over as we are guided by the bright star in the east (spot light). On the way over we read the story of Jesus' birth from the bible. We feel the gratitude of our saviour's birth as we enjoy the Divine evening. You all are blessed to provide such an awakening and sobering experience for all to enjoy. Thanks!

I started going a couple years ago because a friend referred me. Every year we bring friends to this awesome work of God. The first year, I was completely moved and bursted into tears because of the reinactment of Jesus. That night I felt the Holy Spirit in me and it was an awesome feeling. I thank each and every one that allows this to continue every year. I also live in Fluvanna County and it is worth the drive. THANK YOU SO MUCH!

What a wonderful experience. It's a good feeling to know there are still some of us that celebrate Christmas for what it really is. Thank you for allowing God to use you. For those of you that have not been to the Bethlehem Village, you need to go, it will give you a true sense of what Christmas is about. God bless you all and again thanks to each one of you.

My family and I have been to Bethlehem Village annually for the last four or five years. It is like a moment out of our Christian past that we are allowed to walk through and sense at a personal level our Lord's birth. I would recommend and encourage any believer to make this trip. Bless you and your group for the hard work and real sense of Bethlehem that you achieve. Merry Christmas to All.

A wonderful display of the true meaning of the season! This was the first year for my family and we thought it was a fantastic event for the whole family.

We visited last night for the first time. It was well worth the drive from Fluvanna County! We brought our children, the grandparents, and aunt, and a cousin. The children had a great time, as did all the adults. Special kudos to the Woodworkers. My son laughed and laughed and is still talking about them this morning. Thank you for your ministry in helping us to focus anew on the reason we celebrate!

This year will be our 4th visit to Bethlehem Village. It has become a family tradition. My children ranging in age from almost 2 to 20 (last year) all thoroughly enjoyed it. We will bring our future daughter-in-law with us for the first time. Also hoping my mom amd dad will come. This is a massive blessing to the entire region. Continue to work hard for your Lord and may you all be blessed mightily by your God for the efforts you put forth.

My family and I visited Bethleham Village for the first time last year. Our grandsons were in awe at the soldiers. It made us feel that we were in Bethlehem on that wonderous night. Thanks for sharing this with us. We will return this year and bring more people with us. Blessings, Becky

I am excited about bringing some friends over 12/18. Don't be surprised if we come in looking like some of your characters. . .after all we are going to Bethleham to see the star, pay our taxes and get the news about the coming Savior. See ya then, and God Bless. What you do there is marvelous!! Mary

This will be our 6th season with you. It is now part of our Christmas tradition. We tell everyone we know about the village. God Bless you all for what you do and for putting Christ first in Christmas. It gets better every year!!!

Debbie... Fairfield, VA
Simply incredible. We`ve come for a few years now and it`s always exciting to look forward to. We tell friends and invite people to it. We also like buying different tree ornamints each year. Keep up the good work of showing people the true meaning of Christmas.

It’s Saturday evening and you’re exhausted from an all day Christmas shopping spree. You can’t imagine how you will get the gifts wrapped, the tree decorated, cards sent, and the meal planned… all in the next couple of weeks. You need a break from the commercialism that has become Christmas. You suggest to your husband, your best friend, your co-worker, your parents and children that you heard about some little nativity thing that’s supposed to be pretty cool. You grab coats and mittens and you prepare mugs and hot chocolate for your arrival back home – you’ll pick up marshmallows on the way back. You pile into the car for a fifteen to twenty minute ride. Let’s see…. 250 past Crozet… Wait, what is that bright light in the sky? Left onto 151… It appears to be getting brighter… Left at the BP gas station. You see signs leading the way to the Bethlehem Project. Is that the North Star in the sky? You chatter all the way, wondering what this thing is all about. What did you just get yourself into? Will you be disappointed, or worse, disappoint them?

What a blessing! Christ was central. It brought the reality of Christ's birth alive for us. Thank you for your love offering to Jesus.

Jan... Stuarts Draft, Va.
Very touching! I think it is wonderful that there is somewhere you can go and show your kids the REAL meaning of Christmas. Thank you very much for that.

Kim... Fishersville, Va.
God bless you all!! This is such a blessing to me and my family. This is our fourth year and you get better and better each year.

Teresa... Gladstone, Va
This is a wonderful experience. I bring my two children here every year. It helps us to stop and remember the true meaning of Christmas when sometimes we get pulled into the bustle of Christmas. Thank you all for this wonderful reminder at this time of year. God Bless...

This is my first visit to the Bethlehem Village. I was totally amazed at the costumes and setup of the village. It puts your mind back to the true meaning of Christmas. It brings the birth of Jesus to life.

This was wonderful! This is our first time here and we were very blessed! My children, six and five, were amazed, as was I. This will be an annual event for us! God bless you for your time and effort. Merry Christmas.
