Still miss her everyday. ❤ 
Her words of wisdom got me through many trials.

Bettie P. Mitchell  will be loved and remembered forever here in Tanzania (East Africa), her works through Good Samaritan Ministries since 1990 to 2000 are manifest.  

During that period of her leadership many children got education sponsorship, love and care including myself (Dr. Bahati Richardson) writer of this condolence message!.

May the Lord continue resting her soul im eternity. Amen.

  The first time I met Bettie was at a Beaverton nighttime class. I love in Camas but through the kindness of Dorothea Schultz I received a ride there   
  I heard so much about Bettie from Dorothea and the Tuesday morning prayer group. 
  So as you can imagine I was genuinely intrigued by her presence and teaching! 
 One of my most memorable moments by God's grace was being baptized by Bettie I think it was 4 years ago. I will never forget that day and how her words and presence affected me. 

God bless the Mitchell family and Good Samaritan Ministry!! 

Dear Bettie came into my life long before God led me to GSM. When I finally got there Bettie began her refining of my life and ministry. She was the first older female in my life that I felt loved me.   She gave me tools to teach God's kingdom in more effective ways.  Her legacy has healed and served so many world wide including here in Idaho.  We look forward to the day we can join her with the Heavenly Father and pledge to continue to teach only the kingdom where God had placed us. Prayers for all who  love her.  Thank you  Jennie for the times you visited and encouraged us.  Thank you Bettie, I love you. 

I just want to thank Bettie for letting me come with them to Africa so many years ago.  It was truly a life changing experience.  I really learned what true faith was... 
We are weeping but Heaven is celebrating the coming of their sister Bettie.  
Blessings to the family and to GSM.

Dear Mama Betty,

Since 1995 when we met in Uranga, I knew then it was a divine connection. Thank you for being a good mother, leader, and mentor whom exemplified truthfully the heart of a Samaritan. I’ve learned a lot from you and I will keep preaching nothing but the Kingdom of God.  It was a joy and biggest honor to have you in our church for the last two years. You have encouraged us and also equipped us with what we needed to keep going after your departure. Thank you for answering the call of a Samaritan. 

Kindly,
Pastor Jeremie Ndayishimiye

Mama Betty thank you for loving us, thank you for displaying what God’s love look like. You loved my family and I unconditionally and you were the first person who would always call to check up on us whenever you hear a bad news coming from Burundi. You made sure we were okay. And just like you said: “ Teach Nothing but the Kingdom of God.” We will always keep your legacy of a Samaritan and teach nothing but the kingdom of God. We love you and plz keep an eye over us. 

I first met  Bettie at a hospital with a critically ill daughter Kim. She was near death.  Bettie marched right in the room as doctors worked to save her life.  Bettie prayed and Kim condition changed.  Bettie saved her life.  She helped us as our family struggled with the birth and many illnesses of Andrew, our Down syndrome son.   We all learned at family camp.  Bettie was a most profound teacher for our whole family.

Mama, I'm in grief, Mama I miss you, Mama, you have left a great legacy in Africa. Your coming to Africa and Kenya was Divine. 

Our community has never remained the same. Light has shown in what was once a sleeping village. Lives have been touched. Children have go to school because of you.

We shall live to remember your deeds. MAMA we love you. You remain in our hearts forever

RIP MAMA Bettie. Till we meet in paradise

"Gorretty, I know you are intelligent, tough and creative" These were her words to me when I was in her house in 2015.

Mum, you were so dear to me. You could call me anytime my spirit was low. 
You have left a legacy that will live with us forever. Your memories are her in Uranga Kenya. You loved Africa, and more so Kenya. The Papa Jerry and Bettie school are in your honor.

RIP MAMA


Today, our Heavenly Father has gained one our Beautiful Queens,Mama Bettie, Founder of Good Samaritan Ministries. 👸🏼
I had the privilege of being in her home the last days of her life. She was the STRONGEST woman of faith I know. Mama Bettie was excited to exit this world and excited to enter the Kingdom of Heaven and to be in the arms of our Heavenly Father. This lady was CRAZY for   being in the “Father’s Business” and she was a great example of living her life with authority. Mama Bettie was my mentor, she spoke truth, love and life into my soul. I will remember her last words to me “I love you” as she looked straight into my eyes deep into my soul. I am forever grateful for the time and love she gave me. Until we meet again my beautiful queen. I will continue to do my work out in the field doing our Father’s Business 😘 Thank you for being a great example to me, for laughing with me and for being crazy silly with me. Today, I celebrate you!
Love,
Lisa (one of your field workers) 🦋

I remember Bettie holding my dearest "broken friend", Teresa, in her lap many years ago . Oh how Bettie loved!!! That time was the beginning of that very love going forward and shall  continue on. One teaching Bettie gave to me that changed my heart was GIVE the treasures of my heart  when I give. ❤️ I will see you again dear Bettie. ❤️

First memories of Bettie for me go back to Mt, View Intermediate School.  She was  Permanent Sub and taught everything including  Work Shop. The only thing she disliked was Lesson Plans. She would take charge of any situation and would delight any classroom.
Through an illness, she would visit, share a book, place a check on the desk, but mainly she would pray with me.  Her kindness was healing and her strength and faith made me know she cared way down to your very soul.
We wanted my Granddaughter Baptised and I called Bettie and with no hesitation she said, yes.  When the family came Bettie had a surprise.  Would I mind if this big, black, beautiful African, James Opiyo, would baptize her. A lifelong friendship began and it continues to this day.  Thank you Bettie.
We didn't always agree, we didn't have to.  She was one great lady and to know her was a Gift. Thank you God.

Bettie was a unique servant of the Lord Jesus Christ.  She had the knack of cutting through the fluff and getting to the core of the issue.  Bettie brought the healing touch to my life and hundreds around the world.  She has touched all of our lives with the fingerprint of Christ's love.  This world has been a better place because of Bettie Mitchell.  As we mourn her passing we certainly celebrate her life.  My dear Bettie rest in peace.

My thanks goes to Bette for the great work she did helping and training Theresa Stroop.  Teresa then saved my life when I was at the most precarious point. I received healing and was set back on my feet so I could continue growing in the Lord with Treasa‘s help and Betty’s advice to her concerning me. I will always love these ladies for what they did for me like surgeons helping me in an emergency situation that saved my life. Enjoy heaven Bette! 

Bettie was an unusual person. She never quit, even in death she continued to give positive hope. 25 years ago I met Bettie in Palestine. I was a young man full of dreams and waiting for God to deliver on a promise that I always thought was made for me.

Bettie made that happens. I came to the US and finished my graduate studies. I worked with Bettie and the GSM family. When it was time to journey back to Palestine Bettie always prayed for me and kept in touch.    
As she now rests in heaven, I will miss her dearly but maybe one day our paths will cross again. Rest in peace my dear friend God bless you "Mama Bettie"


To the Mitchell Family and the thousands of friends and family who love sister Bettie.  We were so blessed to sit at her feet and learn so many lessons.

We will miss her on earth but will with her again in heaven.  We do not weep as those who don't have hope. Know that I am praying for you as we continue this race to the finish line.

Bettie Mitchell was called by God and served him until her last breath. She was a gifted emotional healer for me and I am forever grateful for her love and to know Jesus in her teachings like I have never known him before. 
I will miss her and yet hear her voice often as I recall her important messages. 
She lived well and blessed so many people as she always had the gift of seeing us all so personally, and giving us all Kingdom understanding. 
Heaven is her home. Deep bow to Bettie. She truly honored her calling and showed us all Jesus in her.

"Erick I have seen you grow into fine young man, keep up the work you are doing" those were your last words to me. Thanks for 2017, you hosted me, movies(chariot of fire)we watched, laughters, breakfast prayers With prayer ball for whole world.  Above all GSM has made us all better people, many African children got good education because of your vision. I am a veterinarian because of you. You are in a better place, Till we meet again. Love always. 

I can think of no other person who impacted my life more than Bettie.  From the moment we met I grew closer and closer to the Lord.  I am so very thankful to have known and to have loved her. She will be so greatly missed. 

I'm in grief for mama Bettie, and knowing she’s now still praying for us in Heaven 24/7 minus the pain!  “On earth as it is in heaven” 
I pray this is her next eternal assignment for earth and us! 💕 
Dr. Bahati Richardson, Country Director, Good Samaritan Ministries (GSM), Tanzania, East Africa. 

My teacher, counselor and friend Bettie Mitchell!
How can I put words together of appreciation and thanksgiving when they are deep within the language of my heart and spirit. My soul has truly been renewed when I stepped into the Beaverton office in 1993, a day of celebration. On that day I had no idea how Bettie would impact my life and, in time, my whole family. 
She gave me the same choice that the Word of God had given me, “choose life.” In that process she never let go of my hand. Like a Mother with her beloved child. Now my hand is empty, but not my heart. 
Auf Wiedersehen ( I will see you again)

Love,
Dorothea Schultz, Vancouver Center Director and Mongolia Satellite Director
