Sovereign Grace Church of Bakersfield is partnering with Indigenous Ministries International (IMI) and many other churches to try and raise the $200k necessary to build the rudimentary precast cement structure (not including paint or any other pleasantries) which will train and send out Indian Christians for generations to come. Often times I wonder where my donations go and how the $ is used. Here is an opportunity to know exactly what your hard earned $ is going to; and to realize that without your help, a rare Bible College in a country hostile to Christianity may literally not be built.
This is what I love about this particular opportunity. The Word of God says:
Matthew 25:40
Matthew 28:19-20
And Jesus, looking at him, loved him, and said to him, "You lack one thing: go, sell all that you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me."
And those references don't even take into account the apostle Paul's writings about giving joyfully and sacrificially. But this is not supposed to be a treatise on Biblical giving. It is simply an opportunity to build a Christ honoring Bible college half way around the world. A college which truly has the opportunity to transform a country of more than a Billion people.
If you are interested in learning more about this project, or donating to the building fund, please visit the website. www.indiangrace.org
May God's grace and blessing be upon you.

keep in touch w/ me about this... Russ has talked to me a little about it. I am going to be moving up to Fresno and working for a church as the missional director. I am going to be pursuing a more clear over-seas effort and this could be part of it.
Appalachian Bible College values servanthood that learns to serve the Lord Jesus Christ, His church, and the world. visit http://www.abc.edu/ to learn about a biblical curriculum that grounds students in accurate biblical doctrine through academic quality that will give relevance in their world, in Christian service ministry and in daily living.
