In the 29 years since it was founded, God has blessed BJMBC by quickly expanding our student body, allowing us to serve and help local churches even more.
That's the good news. The problem is that we no longer fit in our current facilities. We are currently renting from a Gospel Light Baptist Church and using nearly every available class hour and room we can find. It's past time to establish a new location where we can serve our students more effectively. Three years ago the Lord allowed us to purchase property in an ideal location. In the subsequent years we have prepared and awaited the day when we could break ground on a new facility. That day has come. We look forward to beginning the building process soon. |

The final project will have four levels and include classrooms needed now, along with space for the college to continue to grow. Initial estimates for the entire project were $1 million (₱45 million) for two stages. However, by carefully minimizing costs and by planning for a single stage, we have been able to reduce these estimates to $800,000 (₱36 million).
We want this project to arise from the hearts of the local churches here that BJMBC serves. Generous American donors have promised to match every donation coming from Asia, allowing each donation to be doubled.
God has already graciously provided well over a third of that amount in a brief time, allowing us to start the building process next November with the goal of holding our first classes there in January, 2016.
We also praise the Lord for a special benefit concert on January 16, debuting Dan Forrest's Requiem for the Living in Asia for the first time. All proceeds were given for the BJMBC building fund.
There are many ways you can be involved or help with this project. Thank you so much for your interest and your prayers!
