Those of you who have been following this blog know about the exciting developments with a potential Bible College for the Agta in Bicol. It will be a partnership between the Mangyan tribe (who have had their own thriving Bible College for 50+ years) and the Bugkalot tribe (our key partners since 2011). We found a piece of land that can accommodate both the Bible College and the combined livelihood training + church-planting training that we have been dreaming about for many years. Here are two posts with more information about this project (1 & 2).
HOT OFF THE PRESS:
We created a short video about the Bible College project; CLICK HERE to see a little of the backstory & our dream for the future.
By God's grace through some generous donations, we made a down payment on the land, with the balance due in 6 months. We took possession of the land, & we have some tents to get us started. However, we don't have the funds yet to build any actual structures, & tents definitely aren't a long-term solution in "typhoon alley"!
In order to make this dream of a Bible College for the Agta a reality, we are trusting that God will burden hearts to partner with us in standing shoulder to shoulder with the Bugkalot and Mangyan tribes as they start this Bible College for the Agta tribes. This is ultimately also a partnership with the Agta church, because as these believers are rooted in His Word through the Bible College, they will be better equipped to be used by God to reach the rest of their own tribe.
It's still Tribals Reaching Tribals here in the Philippines, but this is a strategic way to partner with these dear brothers and sisters as they lay it all on the line to reach the Agta.

I love that you found a place for the students. Congratulations on Ben going back to school!
We placed a memorial gift to the College from Dick and Bobbi.
