The Bethlehem Mission Society in Immensee is looking for men who feel called to dedicate their lives to the missionary service of the church. Men whose hearts burn for the love of God, their fellow human beings and the mission.
As a member of our community, you can take part in and help shape the future of our mission. You can discover life on another continent, get to know its cultures and people and spread the Word of God. You will also have the opportunity to become active for the mission worldwide – in keeping with the pioneering spirit of many members of the Bethlehem Mission Society before you.
Interested? Get in touch with us. You can talk to a member at any time and exchange ideas with him. You are also welcome to spend a few days in our community in Immensee or Fribourg.

What we do
In our work, we aim to combine the proclamation of the message of Jesus and development cooperation. In doing so, we are guided by the following principles:
- We proclaim and celebrate the God of life.
- We place ourselves at the service of the disadvantaged and marginalised.
- We promote exchange between religions and cultures.
Our community is currently active in several countries in Africa, Asia, Latin America and Europe. Wherever we are active, we work closely with the local church. We are involved in pastoral care, vocational training, school education and socialisation – wherever our services are needed.
