Urgent Need @ Continental Theological Seminary

Continental Theological Seminary faces a great challenge!

Due to several issues that were beyond our knowledge, the main large electrical power cabin that provides electricity to the campus of Continental Theological Seminary, was on the verge of explosion this week. Our campus consists of 5 buildings that hold our chapel, classrooms, offices, as well as apartments for staff, and dormitories for 60 on-campus students. Since yesterday, due to this electrical problem, we have started powering our campus with a powerful generator until a solution can be resolved to either replace the electrical cabin, or find another source of power to the campus.

The challenge is this:  the electrical company states that it is our responsibility to replace or repair this electrical cabin as it is on our property, and has been since the property was first purchased by the Assemblies of God in 1976. The total costs, at this point, are rising every day. The generator alone could be close to $1000 per day! The cost for replacing the electrical power box and cabin could be up to $40,000 - all of which we do not currently have. Of course we are doing all we can to find out the role of insurance, what the city can do to help, etc., but at this point all we know is that we must make repairs.

CTS is a missions school - the regional school of the Assemblies of God USA in Western Europe. Currently we have 120 students in various programs (BA, MTh, PhD), providing them training for full-time ministry in Europe and the world. We are a team of missionaries and workers from 12 countries, training our student body from 32 nations who will literally change the world with the Gospel. We need to keep the lights on. We need to keep training these students.

My plea to you: would you be able to partner with us to meet this very urgent need of funds that can keep our lights on and allow us to continue being the LIGHT TO EUROPE & THE WORLD?

If you can do anything at all, including commit to pray for us that God would meet this very urgent need, please send me a message and I'll get you whatever information you need. 

If you would like to go ahead and make a financial commitment, GOD BLESS YOU!

Offerings are tax-deductible and, if requested, will receive World Missions credit when given through the Assemblies of God World Missions.
