"The Land"

When God first provided the piece of land, we tried to figure out how we would refer to it. It's located in the area of Cagmaslog, but that doesn't exactly roll off the tongue; and there are several different things all on the land - the Tribal Bible College, the BOOST livelihood + church planting training, a place for some of our church planters & more recently the construction for our team house (where our teammates the McCoys will live, and we'll have a studio there as well). Since there is so much going on there, it's often referred to as just "the land". 
We recently completed construction on the little duplex for our church planting team who live on the property. A couple and their baby are on one side, and our single teammate is on the other. 

Meanwhile, construction on our team house is going full steam ahead.  

We just finished a critical phase the with pouring of the roof slab. It took 50 guys about 36 hours working straight (in shifts) to complete the slab in one pour! So thankful to have that stage done safely & successfully. 

But there's a lot more than construction going on! Not only are there Bible classes going on as well as summer teams & agricultural projects, we have regular tribal team trainings as well as Agta church leader trainings going on as well.

We currently have almost 30 students in concurrent Bible school classes. There are a handful in the "diploma 2" (out of 7 total), then a bunch in the foundations semester.

Because we are now doing 2 different level classes concurrently, we set up a separate little classroom outside the main one. Not the best in rainy weather, but it works for the time being. :)

Thanks for praying with us for all that God is doing on "the land"!
