Sam and Brittany Gill - Help NHCMP Start a Bible College

Bible College Proposal

Can You Help NHCMP to Start a Bible College?

Objective: New Hope Christian Ministries of Pakistan feels the necessity to start a Bible College, in Pakistan.  We felt this, at the starting point of NHCMP, and now, we feel that there is a great need of trained ministers and leaders who can strengthen the Church in true doctrine and be able to defend their faith against Islam.  We need your help to raise $600,000 to make this project happen. By the Grace of God, we are doing well, and the ministry is doing well, in Pakistan, thanks to your prayers, love, and financial support. Ever since NHCMP officially started, in 2007, we have planted two Churches, a School for Christian and Muslim kids, a Sewing Center for Women, Bible Certificate courses and Adult Education programs, to promote literacy.  Having done all of these things, we perceive that there is a great need of leadership training, especially while Christians are facing terrorist attacks and vicious, discriminatory Islamic laws.  Pakistan is 97% Islamic.  Regardless of this fact, we feel a hunger for the Word of God.  Some Muslims are very frustrated and are looking for hope.  Despite the fact that there are 97% Muslims, there are around 3% Christians.  It may seem small, but considering that Pakistan is around 196 million, in population, that would make around 5,880,000 Christians.  It is significant, and we feel that Christians are making a difference. Why This Is So Important: In May of 2014, I received a Master of Divinity, and Brittany received a Master of Arts in Religion.  We received these Degrees from Cincinnati Christian University.  Previous to that, from Boise Bible College, we received Bachelor of Arts Degrees, with two years of Greek (experience).  I also studied Hebrew, at Cincinnati Christian University. We see this Bible College Education Background as a great tool for planning this new Bible College, and plan to use our experience, education and expertise towards this project.  We can only achieve this when we have a regular Bible College, so we can teach people, systematically. Proposed Architectural Layout of The Bible College: Will you dream with us, on this project?  According to the Great Commission, in Matthew 28:18-20, we must go into all the nations to teach people the Word of God and the truth about Jesus Christ. Here are some pictures of the diagram of how we want our building.

The Ground Floor Plan

The 1st, 2nd and 3rd Floor Plans

Budget: Our need for this project is $600,000.  This covers the land and building expenses.  In addition, we envision this facility to be a multi-purpose center, including our School, Sewing Center, and Adult Education Classes.  The amount may seem big, but considering American budgets, this is very small.  When we were in America, we often heard about million-dollar budgets made by Churches.  We are only asking less than that.

Note: The land prices are not included in this.  If we include the land price, in it, then it would be $600,000, altogether (Building and Land).

Every little drop counts, in the main bucket.  Will you share and partner with us, in this project?  Please pray fervently about this, and for the exciting ministry of NHCMP (James 5:16-17).

If 600 people donate $1,000,
or, if 1,200 people donate $500,
or, if 2,000 people donate $300,
This goal can be achieved.

Blessings,

Breaking News: May 24, 2015
Sande Incident: Lahore, Pakistan
---
Christian Man Accused of Blasphemy.  Violence Attacks from Shi'ites and Christians flee from their homes.

This was an unfortunate incident that happened shortly after the Youhunabad incident (in Lahore).  To read about this in our previous newsletter, click HERE. This Sande incident was also not far away from Youhunabad.  A Christian man, who was considered mentally impaired, and a drug addict was accused of burning newspaper pages that had Qur'anic verses on it, and was accused of blasphemy.  This time, the attack was from the Shi'ites, not from the Sunnis (who are the majority Muslim group, here).  (Sunni and Shi'ite are the two main majority groups of Muslims, in the Muslim world). This just comes to show that Muslims are taught to not have tolerance for Christians, no matter what sect they come from.  Not everybody is this way, but this is what they are taught, in the Madrasas (Islamic Schools).  We must pray for these people. When the violence became to its extreme, they were going to attack a church, nearby (see the photo, down below).  However, policemen and armed guards came over and prevented it from happening.  The Christians, in this area fled and so far, have not returned back to their homes (as much as we know).  A friend of ours came and gave us some "insider" photos. What is sad about this incident is that the Pakistani media didn't try to cover this, very much.  It shows their feelings of indifference about this event. Christians are not safe from terrorist attacks and they are not safe, either, from Extremist Muslims, who are the true followers of Islam.

The Church that was almost attacked, but thanks to the Policemen and Armed Guards, the attack was prevented.

Policemen were walking with Bamboo Sticks and guns.

Houses that were attacked.

Houses with doors that were locked.  This indicated the Christians who left and have not come back yet, as far as we know.

Sam & Brittany Gill: Twin Suicide Bombs - New Hope Christian Ministries of Pakistan

Hello, everyone!  We are here, getting adjusted, slowly and surely.  While we were on the plane, over here, we heard some distressing news about two suicide bombs that happened near two Churches, near to where we are residing.  However, because of your love and prayers, and the Grace of God, we are doing fine.  The Churches are doing fine, as well as the School and our Sewing Center.  Our Churches have had normal Sundays, these past three weeks.  Please pray for the security, safety and protection for the Pakistani Christian People.  We are wanting to raise the level of security for our Churches.  Hopefully, by the Grace of God, we can achieve this.  Regarding the Twin Bombings, more details on this incident are mentioned here in our newsletter: http://themissionsnetwork.com/index.php/news-prayer-letters-from-ministries-missionaries/408-asia/new-hope-christian-ministries-of-pakistan-sam-brittany-gill/6317-twin-suicide-bombs-april-6-2015-new-hope-christian-ministries-of-pakistan
