School of Missions
This is dedicated to preparing young people to evangelize Eastern Europe, Africa, and the world.
To date at least five students have volunteered for the Mission Field of Malawi, Iraq and Romania.
|
Feeding the Masses
The dining hall will accommodate up to 300 students in two shifts. It is used for youth camps primarily.
A new dining hall is planned.
|
Preaching the Word
In addition to the four churches operating in the immediate area, the youth camp runs around 300 per week. Bro Tom
wants to increase that to 500 per week. The youth camp has seen over 1,000 young people saved every year for the last 5 years.

The Equation
This ministry is limited only by funds to expand. Bro Tom and staff are ready and planning expansion as God supplies.

The Goal
Eph. 3:20 "Now unto Him that is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think according to the power
that worked in us, unto Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen"
Our goal is not only to occupy till he comes, but to enlarge our borders as He leads, and supplies.

- 10 Additional Acres of Land ($25,000)
- 10 Cabins that Sleep 24 ($30,000 each)
- Connect to City Water ($7,500.00)

The Carpathian Mountains curve through the center of the country, dividing the timbered uplands of Transylvania from the Danube Plain. The southern part of the range, the Transylvanian Alps, contains the highest peaks and the most rugged scenery. |
