A letter from Rick Betenbough
2021 was a great year for Betenbough Companies!
We celebrated new marriages and babies, anniversaries, birthdays, and successes. We ate together, traveled together, laughed together, and cried together. We opened a new bakery and café, started a distribution company, added turf to our farm, shared Kingdom stories, hosted events at The Willows, and experienced record sales and closings at Betenbough Homes and Impact Title— Whew! So much activity.
These are all things we DID, and they were good things. But, this report is NOT about that. Instead, this report celebrates the IMPACT from those activities, the fruit from all the things we did.
In Genesis, the first book of the Bible, God gives his people his first command:
“ And God said to them, be fruitful and multiply.” – Gen. 1:28
We have multiplied! One hundred and fifty-three new employees joined us in 2021! Wow! We have always asked God to bless us so that many more people can join in and be blessed!
153 is a biblical number - Hebrew for Ani Elohim, which means “I am God.” In the book of Matthew, Jesus gets in the boat with Peter and his partners. They had been fishing all night and caught nothing, no fruit from their activity. Then, Jesus tells them to cast their net to the other side of the boat, and they were blessed with 153 fish! God blessed their work with amazing fruit!
I thank God for each one of you, those that have been here, and those that have just arrived! I pray these stories of impact, of FRUIT, will bless you and encourage you!
Betenbough Companies, CEO
