Dear Friends in Christ,
As we reflect on the incredible ways God has moved through our seminary this year, our hearts overflow with gratitude and awe. In 2025, we’ve witnessed His hand at work in ways that echo the promises of Scripture—enlarging our tent, sowing seeds of truth, and extending His kingdom across borders (Isaiah 54:2-3; Matthew 13:3-8; Matthew 28:19-20).
We’ve published 16 transformative books, including Returning to the Roots: The Healthy Church as Established by Jesus in the New Testament and Immersed: Baptism Guide for the Church of God, equipping believers worldwide to deepen their faith and strengthen their churches. Our teaching has reached new heights with ongoing classes in Ecuador and Zoom sessions spanning multiple countries, opening doors for even greater global impact. A powerful mission trip to Reque, Peru, alongside brothers and sisters from Breiel Church in Middletown, Ohio, has ignited a passion for foreign missions among our Ecuadorian brethren—and now, we’re preparing to return to teach a conference on church health that promises to revitalize communities.
And here’s where the excitement builds: We’re on the cusp of developing our farm into a vibrant hub for camp meetings and retreats, a sanctuary where God’s people can gather, renew, and grow together (Exodus 25:8). This is more than a project; it’s a step of faith toward sustaining and expanding the harvest God is bringing forth.
But we can’t do this alone. Your partnership is vital to turning these God-given visions into reality. Every gift, no matter the size, plants a seed in fertile soil, multiplying for His glory (1 Corinthians 3:6-7). Will you join us in this kingdom work? Your donation today will fuel publications that illuminate Scripture, empower international teaching that crosses oceans, support missions that awaken hearts, and build spaces where lives are transformed.
