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.

Thank you for your interest in what God is doing here in Córdoba!

Hello Friends,

We’re pleased to give you another update on our progress to get back to Argentina. The big event this week was the loading and shipping of our 20 ft. container to Argentina. We would like to thank those who helped support us with different donations and items which will bless the school in Cordoba. As Sonia and I purchased different items, we weren’t sure if everything would fit in. Thankfully, we were able to get it all in, though with very little space left. We would like to thank Living Hope Worship Center, Evangel Church and Nuco Title Insurance company for items that were donated to help our students. Thank you very much for blessing Argentina!

We will continue to be here in the US over the next few weeks before heading back to Argentina on August 14th. We appreciate your continued support and help.

Blessings,

Stephen

Hello again!

Just a quick note that we added some photos to our “Media” section of the new mattresses recently purchased.

Many of you gave sacrificially toward this project and we wanted to inform you that we got some photos in. We’ll be posting some additional ones shortly, but this should give you an idea of the great blessing we have been to these future pastors and church leaders. All in all we have purchased more than 70 kits of mattresses, blankets and pillows for our students!

Thank you for giving! Visit our “Current Projects” section for information about this and other projects.

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

Greetings!

We wanted to take a moment today to update you on the progress we have made on the mattresses at the Bible school.

First of all, we want to say THANK YOU to those churches and individuals who have written us and opened their hearts. You have been so generous! With the funds raised, we are looking at being able to completely renew all of our campus mattresses for both the general student body and married housing! This was more than we had anticipated. That’s more than 85 mattress sets! This means our students will soon be able to rest much better! This is especially important since classes are starting up again this week.

As soon as we have photos, we will post them here on the website so we may all together see how we’ve been able to bless these future ministers and leaders. Thanks!

If you or your church are interested in helping in other areas on campus, our other most pressing need is to secure our campus security fence. For every $200, we can extend this security wall by 1 meter. We have about 160 meters still to go. So, please consider what you or your church might be able to do today. Please visit our projects page for more info and our support page for detailed instructions on how you can partner with us.

We’ll keep you posted...

Blessings,

Stephen

Dear Friends,

We wanted to give you an update on one of our recent projects and needs. As you may have heard, we are in the process of raising some funds to help purchase new mattress sets, blankets and pillows for the Bible school in Córdoba. For every $100 raised we can purchase a new bedding set!

It has been more than 10 years since many of these mattresses were replaced and we are raising about $5,000 to help purchase enough sets to provide better bedding to our resident students who will be returning in March 2009.

Though we have nearly $3,000 raised, we still need your help. Check out our projects page for photos and more information. If your Women’s Ministries group, BGMC, Royal Rangers or Missionettes groups would like to bless these future pastors and leaders in Argentina, please visit either our contact or support page for ways to get involved.

Please pray for our progress as we continue our time of itineration. We still need many more churches and individuals to partner with us so we may return to Argentina soon.

Thanks and God bless!

Stephen
