WE ARE GROWING!!!

Beyond Our Limits!
Our student body is growing!  We have seen and felt the need to expand.  Not only are we having to defer to a waiting list for married students, but we have no adequate childcare facility.  With more married students come more children.  They're adorable, and they need a spacious and fun place to be while Papi and Mami are in class.
This is one of two projects that we're praying can become a reality soon!  A large family center which will include six to eight married student apartments and an adequate childcare facility.

Growth is a Good Thing
This "growth problem" is a new, exciting, and also disappointing experience for us.  It is disappointing to have to tell young couples and families that there is no room at this time.  The good news is that we have the property!  The land is ours and paid in full.  All we lack are the funds to begin building.  Please pray that we can raise the funds quickly for this very important project.  Plans are underway!

If you saw the picture in our last post which showed the large crowd at our graduation, then you may also have read about the need for a large hall where we can have our graduations and other important events.  This building has already been started.  Our home church, Destiny Christian Church, in Rocklin, CA, came in 2016 and put up the roof.  The next phase will be to pour the cement floor.  

This building is to be a gym/chapel or event hall that will be great for hosting large crowds of up to 400.  It will be so good to be able to have this, not only for IBP's own events, like graduations, but for other events as well.  During the breaks from classes, we rent the campus out for kid's camps, men's and women's camps, and family camps, etc.  This is one of the ways IBP raises funds to provide for the ongoing operation of the school.  

Thanks so much for your prayers and giving!  Our Patagonian Bible Institute, one of only 3 resident schools in South America, would not exist without the help of friends like you!  This is missions... being a part of what God is doing around the world.
