베델호는 300석[1] 규모의 예배당으로 개조된 "변환된 압연소 노점상"[2]이라고도 불리는 무동력 바지선이었다.그것은 [2]1893년 가을부터 북부 오하이오 밸리에서 운영되었다.클레이튼은 침몰한[3] 바지선을 사서 오하이오 [4]강에서 몇 년 동안 전도 활동을 했다.바지선에서 일했던 전도사들은 하나님의 교회 대표자들이었다.그 바지선은 릭글이 그의 유산을 그 프로젝트를 시작하기 위해 사용한 것에 의해 지불되었다.릭글은 그의 아이들 중 한 명이 [5]강에 빠질 뻔할 때까지 한동안 이 프로젝트에 참여했다.이 부처에서 열린 예배 동안 재정적인 수금은 없었다; 자원 봉사자들이 비용을 지불했다.이 임무는 5년간 지속되며 다양한 [6]길이에 걸쳐 정차할 계획이었다.

Description

A highly idealized rendering of the Floating Bethel.

Its form was described by Lucy S. Furman in The Century Magazine, December 1894:

The Floatin' Bethel was made this way. There was two stories. The lower one was one long room, like a church, with the pulpit at one end, and benches set in rows all the way back, and big doors openin' out on both sides, so 's the gang-planks could be laid right to 'em for the people to get in easy, and the devil would n't have any room to talk about religious folks holdin' theirselves so up and above others. The top story had a hall down the middle, and sleepin'-rooms on each side. We eat in the hall, and had one of the little rooms for a cook-room. Then there was a real nice little steeple on top.

Destruction

The Floating Bethel burned down before it got out of the Ohio River. It caught fire and was completely destroyed in 1898 or 1899 according to different sources, yet timbers were salvaged from the wreck and were used in the construction of two homes in the Park View section of Moundsville. Both of these homes are in good condition and occupied.[7][8]

Partial list of locations where evangelistic work was performed

Over forty congregations of the Church of God were started along its route.[1]
