Now all we need is $1.5 million, a good piece of land and seven years... LORD willing.
Sanctuary Village is our vision to raise up 300 Ethiopian ministers over seven years in an agrarian community where theology, agriculture, basic health care and vocational trades are taught and practiced through a lifestyle of prayer, mercy ministry, study and labor.
The campus of Sanctuary Village will include homes for families, elderly, disabled and singles. Plans include a minor medical clinic, pharmacy, store, primary school, meeting hall, sports field and cafe that will be located in the public areas. Micro-farming, animal husbandry, well drilling and home building will be taught and practiced on the campus in the vocational/farming area. Both short and long term residents would live in the Village.
Theological training programs would be offered in residential and commuting programs. Classes will be taught in ten terms of two intensive weeks over three years. Residential students will have schedules that vary with the growing seasons, but will include daily prayers, vocation and mercy ministry.
During their time on campus residential students will be pared into teams of five in preparation for replication of the ministry on a small scale within existing villages. Ideally each team will have a preacher, educator, administrator, medical tech and an agriculture/vocation tech. These teams would serve as a group of elders for new churches.

Why $1.5 Million?
"Well, if you gonna dream -- dream big."
Seriously I think this is a great question and one that is well worth asking.
The total is divided into 3 parts, much like building a home.
1/3 goes into building material/infrastructure (land/wood/mud/nails), 1/3 goes into the laborers (both Ethiopian and western), and 1/3 to get it all done (administration/oversight/fund raising/etc).
It is not our intention to build full scale replicas of Sanctuary Village all over Ethiopia, but that "students" would be sent out with the principles and tools to create small versions of Sanctuary Village in other areas. Rather than multiple Sanctuary Villages the offspring would be "Sanctuary Homes". These new works would be funded primarily from within, and established by teams of 5.
