Overview of The Carpenter’s Project

Indigenous ministries we recently assisted:

East Africa Baptist Mission Bible Training Center

In July 2024, John traveled to Ethiopia to attend the building dedication for East Africa Baptist Mission’s new Bible Training Center in Dukem. The Carpenter’s Project and three sponsoring churches provided financial assistance while EABM designed and managed the project.

West Africa Baptist College Dormitory Improvements

The student dorms at West Africa Baptist College in Ghana were built almost 50 years ago and were in need of major renovations. These improvements include enlarging the quarters, new plumbing and electrical wiring, new roofs, and fresh paint.

Manila North Cemetery

The Carpenter’s Project assisted a unique ministry to more than 6,000 homeless residents in the Manila North Cemetery. A place where generations have lived—many born and raised among the tombs. Located in Santa Cruz, Manila, this unique community has grown within the cemetery, with families seeking shelter and hope.

WHY NATIONAL CHURCH PLANTERS

Local Leaders Are Best Prepared to Reach Their Own Communities

National pastors already speak the language, understand the culture, and know the people they are called to serve. They recognize the spiritual needs of their communities and can build relationships that continue long after outside help is gone.

Many have completed their Bible training and are ready to begin, but they lack the financial support needed during the first years of planting a church. The Timothy Project gives these men temporary assistance while they preach the Gospel, disciple new believers, and build churches that can eventually support their own pastor and ministry.

Support typically begins at $125 per month and gradually decreases over five years as the new church grows toward supporting its own pastor. This temporary help gives a trained national church planter time to establish a lasting local ministry.

Siang Ve Story – Faithful to God’s Call

Beyond the urban limits of Yangon or Mandalay are thousands of small farming towns and communities producing rice, beans, and corn. To one of these communities, the Lord called Siang Ve in 2019 to start a church.

Geremew’s Story – Our Way or God’s Way

Western Ethiopia is on a high plateau. It’s a warm, dry, sparsely populated region where subsistence farming is the predominant occupation. Its citizens are mostly Muslim; some are Ethiopian Orthodox followers. It’s an area with no true Gospel witness.

Pastor Abraham – When God Calls, He Leads

In December 2013, a coup in Sudan, spawned by ethnic hatred, began six long years of fighting and suffering for the 10 million people of Southern Sudan. After more than 400,000 deaths, four million were displaced to neighboring countries as Sudan’s northern and southern tribes separated to form two distinct countries.

Getachew’s Story – Bless Them Who Persecute You

Getachew accepted Christ in a Muslim community in southern Ethiopia and answered God’s call to plant a church. He and his family endured severe persecution, but their faithfulness helped establish a growing congregation. Men from that church later entered the ministry and planted five more churches in the surrounding area.
