Dear Friends,

We’re really excited to share with you a project that we are launching with the help of one of our churches. The project is called “The Nehemiah Challenge”. Let me explain what this is all about.

For quite some time now we have been alarmed by the number of break-ins and robberies happening on campus. In fact, though we have had guards helping us at the school, we still have had situations occur that have made the security of our students an area of deep concern. We want to change this. We will be constructing a security fence around the property of the Bible school and make other general enhancements to the main entrance (i.e. cameras, electric door, etc.) Essentially, this project has at its heart the security and well-being of our students. So here is how it works.

We have a challenge before us by a church to do something incredible -- raise the necessary funds for our security wall in about 52 days! Just as Nehemiah was instrumental in having the walls around Jerusalem built in only 52 days, we will believe together that we can raise the necessary resources in the same amount time for our wall. For every dollar raised between Easter weekend and May 31st, a church will match these funds up to $15,000! So basically this project costing more than $30,000 has just been cut in half! Will you consider joining with us and help see that our students study and prepare for ministry in a safe and secure environment?

Please visit our “Current Projects” section to view more photos and get more information about this challenge. You may download this “Response Card” and send it to us with your offering. If only 50 churches, businesses or individuals were to give $300 each, we would have enough finances to get this wall done. We can do this with God’s help...and yours!

We’ll keep you posted...

Stephen & Sonia
