Journey with God: #39 - Discipleship and Dormitory Ministry

After months of prayers, planning, visiting other Christian ministries and discussions with our youth leader, Abednego, and other missionaries, it is finally time to roll-out our plan --- Discipleship and Dormitory Ministry.

At the end of August, the students will be moving to a new location and starting the new Discipleship program. We are responsible for nurturing and training this group of 20 students to be better prepared in life as a disciple of Christ. We are also taking the financial responsibility of the operating budget including rent, utilities, training and outreach expenses.

We certainly need your prayers and financial support!

Although we have not raise 100% of our family basic budget, God has burden us with the new initiative and we trust that God will provide our financial needs. Please prayerfully consider supporting the Discipleship & Dormitory Ministry and become our regular partners.

1) Program Fund

Each of our students will pay US$15/month as their share of the rental cost, which is about 1/3 of total operating budget.

We still need approximate US$625 per month to support the dormitory, training program and outreach expenses, and a small salary for our dorm leader.

Your support will help to train these next generation Christians in our program. It will also help to reach the people in the villages through our monthly outreach program.

Discipleship program includes Bible study, fellowship, skills training, Sunday worship and outreach program

2) Scholarship Fund
In addition, please consider supporting a student from a poverty stricken family to attend university. Without a scholarship, many of these high-school graduates will be forced to work in factory and forego the chances of higher education. Some families maybe able to sell part of their land in order to support part of the education cost, but many of them cannot afford to do so.

Please prayerfully consider supporting the Scholarship Program to help the students in need.

(1) Full scholarship US$200/month – covers the student’s tuition and education expenses, all living expenses (food, gasoline, parking at school, dormitory program) and a small amount of emergency expenses.
* Student need to join our extra training program during non-school hours and cannot work a part/full-time job.

(2) Half scholarship US$110/month – covers the student’s tuition and education expenses, dormitory program and $1 per day for food. Student will probably work a part/full-time job to support his/her other living expenses (food, gasoline, parking at school) and he/she will still be required to join the discipleship training.

All students in our program are required to join our regular discipleship training program, and fulfill our education requirement (school grade and attendance).
