BSB Moves Operations to Rockford

Beth Nelson Chase, new VP of BSBBright Stars of Bethlehem is making a fresh start in Rockford, Illinois, with a new office and two new staff members!  Heading up Bright Stars operations in the US now is Beth Chase, formerly of Wartburg Seminary in Dubuque, Iowa.  Beth comes to Bright Stars with years of experience as a successful development and advancement executive for several Lutheran non-profit institutions. 

"We are elated that Beth has agreed to accept this new position in the U.S.," said Rev. Dr. Mitri Raheb, president of Bright Stars of Bethlehem, and pastor of Christmas Lutheran Church in Bethlehem, Palestine. "Her previous leadership positions with various non-profit organizations provide the skill sets and experience which makes her a perfect fit. We welcome her enthusiasm, experience, and expertise to this new position in order to take Bright Stars to a new level of development and increased effectiveness in ministry."

Also joining the Bright Stars team is Michelle Nelson, our new administrator.  Michelle comes to BSB with a background in finance and will be responsible for handling email queries, managing databases and processing gifts. 

As BSB operations transition from the Washington office to the office in Rockford, we give heartfelt thanks to Doris Warrell and Irene Koumbothanassi for their service to Bright Stars and the ministries in Bethlehem.  Their efforts helped expand the scope of BSB's work in the US, solidify the network of local and area representatives, and raise thousands of dollars for the ongoing ministries of the Diyar Consortium.  We are also grateful to Faith Rowold for serving BSB as communications officer.
