Bethel Baptist Church

  Gregg and Myriam Grano were a very active part of Bethel from 1987 to 1999.  While they were here in Mankato, their sons Peter, David and Joseph were born.  Now they are at Black Forest Academy (BFA) in southwestern Germany.  BFA is an international school (grades 1-12) for kids whose parents are missionaries.  Many of those in grades 7-12 live at the school.

 Gregg is teaching high school math and Myriam works part-time as an administrative assistant in the business office. Her language skills (French, German and English) are much in demand, and she often translates for official events.  Myriam has also gotten involved in the local Community Bible Study. David plays trombone in the Kandern community band.  (Peter stayed behind in the U.S. (Florida) to attend college.) The Granos are also involved in the BFA church, which numbers about 600 people.
