I would like to ask you to pray for a few issues pertaining to our seminary here in the UAE. Our school has students from various denominations and graduates around 35 students a year who enter into ministry. Although these prayer requests involve finances, I am NOT asking for any money but just prayer. I want our school to support itself as much as possible, but the problem we face is we do not want to charge the student too much to attend. The first issue is with our school's accreditation. Academic accreditation is very important because it allows the students to use their degree around the world, and if they choose, further their education. Our school needs $6000 to pay the accreditation fees. If we cannot pay them by the end of this year, we may lose our accreditation. Second, one of the biggest problems we have with properly training at our school is the severe lack of Christian resources. A traditional library is impossible, so our students are mostly dependent on online resources. The free resources are just not good enough to use in a seminary, so we need something known as ATLA. Almost every Christian school in America uses this and it gives students access to a lot of excellent resources. The problem is that is cost $5000 a year. For an American school that is not a big deal, but for us it is REALLY expensive. Again, we do not want to increase our school fees. Finally, the UAE government has given our overseer a piece of land in Ras Al Khaimah (one of the seven cities in the UAE). They gave him the land but we have to pay for the building which would cost anywhere from $500,000-2,000,000. With that we could build a church building and also use it for the school. Again, I am NOT asking for finances, but prayers. These are definitely mountains...but God can move mountains.
