A BIBLE SCHOOL FOR ARUNCHAL PRADESH?

THE TWO BROTHERS SEEN ABOVE WITH THEIR FAMILIES ARE SIMEON

YOBIN AND TIFUSA YOBIN. YOBIN IS THEIR TRIBAL NAME AND TITLE.

THEY GRADUATED FROM THE N.E. BIBLE INSTITUTE IN 2006. THEY ARE

ACTIVE EVANGELISTS IN THEIR HOME STATE, ARUNACHAL. THEIR

MOTHER TONGUE IS LISU, BUT BEING MULTILINGUAL, THEY HAVE ES-

TABLISHED A NUMBER OF CONGREGATIONS IN DIFFERENT LANGUAGES.

THESE CONGREGATIONS ARE SCATTERED ACROSS THE EASTERN POR-

TION OF THE STATE, WHICH BORDERS THE COUNTRY OF MYANMAR

(FORMERLY BURMA) ON THE EAST AND CHINA ON THE NORTH. THE

CHURCHES ARE IN DIRE NEED OF TRAINED WORKERS. IN MANY CASES

THEY ARE AS SHEEP WITHOUT A SHEPARD. TIFUSA AND SIMEON HAVE

WRITTEN ASKING HELP TO BE BEGIN A SCHOOL, IN WHICH LABORERS

FOR THE LORD WILL BE TRAINED IN THREE LANGUAGES. THEIR DESIRE

IS TO BEGIN SUCH A SCHOOL IN A DISTRICT HEADQUATERS, MIAO, IN

JANUARY 2018. THE COST WILL BE ABOUT $75.00 PER MONTH PER STU-

DENT. PLEASE CONSIDER SUPPORTING ONE OR MORE STUDENTS IN

YOUR BUDGET FOR ‘18; AND/OR MAKE A SPECIAL GIFT TO HELP JUMP

START THE SCHOOL. WE WILL NEED TO BUY ABOUT 1.5 ACRES OF

GROUND. LAND COSTS AROUND $16,500.00 PER ACRE. IT HAS PROVEN

TIME AND TIME AGAIN THAT THE WAY TO SPREAD THE GOSPEL IS BY

OBEYING TWO TIMOTHY TWO TWO.
