Country: Kenya
Amount Requested:$9000.00
Amount Received: $5000.00 (05/11/2013)
Designate Gifts: Kenya Bible School
Grace Bible School opened in Embu, Kenya in 1989. Many of the current leaders of the Grace Bible Churches were trained in that school. In 2004 we moved to Grace Pastoral Training, which is a system of seminars, mentoring and personal study. Several of the GPT graduates are helping to plant the 15 new churches. However, we have seen the need to have a resident Bible school for advanced training as well as the GPT seminars. The land in Thika was purchased in 2004 and then we had the long process of obtaining permits for a Bible school. The construction has been divided into four phases. The first three Phases are complete and paid for at a cost of $16,000 and the final Phase Four is $9,000. Our goal is to complete this project by August 2013 so that training can begin in September.

Projeto Rede ao Mar is a Grace youth organization from several churches in the south of Brazil.

Many future Grace church leaders will come out of the Anderson Theological School in Lembean near Manado. Although the school is already conducting classes with 32 students on their Lembean property several steps remain for it to be fully functional. One, the director and a teacher and their families need to move to Lembean. Two, a government fee must be paid for the school to be recognized by the government as a seminary. The students will benefit greatly from both of these moves. We are informed that moving the families is $3000 and the government fee is $2000.

A missionary couple in a closed country of Southeast Asia has requested a motorbike to travel between home, language school, market and ministries. We cannot mention the name of the country; however, there is strong spiritual opposition and darkness. Several pastors have been jailed for proclaiming their faith in Christ. Our missionaries are in their one-year language learning stage. They are also on the streets to develop friendships with the people. Motorbikes are an economical and effective means of transportation. A small motorbike costs $1800.
Mombasa Car -Complete
 |
Country: Kenya
Amount Requested: $5,000.00
Amount Received:$5,800.00 (2/23/2012)
Designate Gifts: Mombasa Car
The Bible school in Mombasa, Kenya is near to where Pastor Peter Kagwi lives, but to travel to extension schools in other areas a vehicle is more convenient. Matatus (public transportation) take too long to travel, making a normal ½ hour trip take 2 hours. Matatus do not reach every location, causing the Mombasa ministry team to walk for an hour or more. A vehicle would save Pastor Peter time and allow him to bring additional personnel materials and equipment to the schools. Vehicle Purchase: $5000.

Country: Kenya
Amount Requested: The Rains have come!
Amount Received: $800.00 (8/11/2011)
Project Completion: August 2011
Designate Gifts: Kenya Drought Relief
Kenya Director Samuel Mwangi writes, “Ben, the drought is very bad at this time because many people did not harvest as they expected. We prepared the field and planted. The rain came and all seed germinated and grow very well. But before harvest the sun came and everything became dry. People were supposed to harvest this month but nothing in the field. The primary school might be closed early since most children go without food and they cannot concentrate in the school. Most of the families eat one meal a day and some go without. The food in Kenya also is very expensive such that most people cannot manage. See the attached picture of a farm (shamba) and also the Grace pastors who joined together for a prayer summit.” Let us help our Kenyan brothers and sisters through this difficult time by purchasing food for distribution.
