A WORD FROM THE CEO
This summer has been challenging as our general fund has been down in numbers. I am so grateful for your continued prayers and financial support month by month. It’s humbling, to be sure.
But even as I write this, we’re preparing to launch a new building campaign on Grace Bible College’s campus. As you read in Pramod’s article on page one, the need for permanent girls’ dorms is dire, followed by several other very important needs as well. This will be a $1.1 million dollar campaign to complete GBC’s campus once and for all. This is a bold move but will include three businesses which will enable GBC to be more self-sustaining with local funding – one of which we launched a year ago, a campus bookstore. The other business will be a coffee shop and cafe, and a center for learning and tutoring for the community.
A prospectus will be available soon; first fundraising phase will be $250,000. If you would like to make a pledge and/or a gift to the first phase of this project, please use the form below.
I’m proud of our team at GBC as they are continuing on with training young men and women with biblically sound teaching even as the future of serving Christ in this great nation is growing dimmer by the day.
We must stand with them and help see this campus finished as soon as possible, and give them the facilities to not only train, but to engage local funding.
As you can see with other areas of the ministry, the summer Bible classes in Iraq are going on with great gusto – and I couldn’t be more proud of our teams there too.
This October the Pastors’ Conference theme is from Nehemiah 2:18 “I also told them about the gracious hand of my God on me and what the king had said to me. They replied, ‘Let us start rebuilding.’ So they began this good work.” What a thrill to be engaged in what God the Holy Spirit is doing in His Harvest. Know that your prayers and gifts are such a key part of this ministry; thank you so much.
Love and Blessings, Dee
Dee A. Cook, CEO
