Hello Friends,

We are so excited to share some of our most recent photos with you form the construction site here at the Bible school in Argentina. We received a great team of 10 people from Evangel Church in Scotch Plains, NJ who helped us put a new roof on 5 classrooms! Amazing! The dedication and hard work from this team has encouraged us to keep on serving in such a privileged place. Please continue to pray for the construction here and the beginning of our new semester in just a couple weeks.

In the meantime, we invite you to check out our photos from the week. You can check out the slideshow here.

Blessings,

Stephen & Sonia

Hello friends and supporters!

It’s currently summer here in Argentina and it’s at this time that we have no students on campus that permit us to make significant improvements for construction here on campus. For quite some time now, we have wanted to finish two new classrooms for our students. Construction has begun to place a new roof on the existing classrooms and to complete these 2 newer classrooms. In addition to the classrooms, we will also be moving the bathrooms in this area to a new location, freeing up some space to include a gathering area for our students.

This is a large project that we are trying to complete by early March. it is one that will help our teachers and students greatly. Will you consider helping us urgently with a special offering? Here is how you can help:

Special Offering: Please send us an email or visit our support page for more information.
Photo Gallery: Visit our photo gallery to see how we are making progress. Photos will be added as the work progresses.
Video: Check out this brief video showing the classrooms and need.

Check back for updates!

Greetings!

We are thrilled to see our new security wall going up so quickly. As you may recall, we are building a new perimeter around our campus to provide our students with a safer environment to study and prepare for ministry. We’ve made considerable progress over the last few weeks and we’d like to invite you to visit our “Security Wall” photo album.

Dear Friends,

We would like to further update you on our progress for the “Nehemiah Challenge” project. As you know, the security of our students is of the upmost importance. In order for us to safely secure our campus, we will need approximately $30,000 for the construction of a security wall. At the moment here is where we stand:

• We currently have close to $10,000 given or pledged toward this project.
• If we include the matching funds portion, we will have raised about $20,000 of the intended $30,000 so far.

We have just a couple more weeks to raise an additional $5,000 which will in turn be matched. Please consider joining with us as we trust God to provide the resources to help secure our campus in Argentina! You can find out more about this project by visiting our “Current Projects” section.

We’ll keep you posted...

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
