Stone Memorial Building Update

We have exciting progress to share this month on The John & Phyllis Stone Memorial building!

If you are unfamiliar with this project, we were blessed in 2021 with donations to The John & Phyllis Stone Memorial. We were able to raise over $200,000 to go towards this important project. All funds raised are being used for the work at our ministry’s main campus in Bangalore, India to build a new dormitory for church planters during their training as well as further training facilities. This is a key tool in our work to raise up church-planting disciple-makers.

Our need to build the dormitory is driven by our goal of educating 100 church planters every year, and we want to begin training their spouses, too. The current facility cannot house more than 20 people at a time and is severely inadequate. The new facility will include dormitories, bathroom facilities, food services, classrooms, and space for producing our online training modules.

New work is being completed and we are starting to see the bones of this project come together. Take a look at recent photos of the work being done below. We still need more funds to finish this project!

This is the first level where there will be parking.

We are so excited to see work being completed on this extremely important project. Stay tuned for more updates to come soon!
