Update on the Emmanuel Bible School
This Bible School began back in 2008 in a shanty bamboo hut. After a few years they tore down the structure because it was falling apart. They rebuilt it again making it bigger to accommodate the growing number of students. As the years have gone by, they have again outgrown their capacity, so that is why they wanted to and needed to build a concrete structure this time, as a more permanent build but large enough to accommodate the growth. So began the prayers and efforts of the surrounding communities and churches, pooling funds to begin constructing this school. However, they are finding it hard to finance this project alone, so they have asked for help. When we left for the States last year, they had finished building up to the 2nd floor, but the urgency of finishing the building was a pressing matter, so the community and the Christian Churches came together again to raised whatever money they could to start the 3rd floor. It is done. Now we need to start on the 4th and final floor. They contacted us to let us know they still need about $20,000 to complete the 4th floor. Please, please help us with this. So many people are learning the Word of God and being saved through this project.
● 1st floor will be all classrooms.
● 2nd floor will be for the staff and teachers' living quarters and offices.
● 3rd floor will be the girl's dorm and living quarters for the dorm parents.
● 4th floor will be the men's dorm and living quarters for the dorm parents.
In the pictures below you can see that they have built three (3) stories. But due to lack of funds, they have not been able to build the 4th floor except the tiny room that the yellow arrow is indicating. We have been helping to support as much as we can on a monthly basis since it began in 2008. Please help us finish the 4th floor which is the Men's Dorm.
