Africa School of Missions (ASOM) sits exposed in the open desert. ASOM trains students from closed Islamic nations where they are in constant danger of persecution, imprisonment and even death. The school is committed to discipling men and women into maturity, helping them know the call the Lord has given them in missions, and equipping them to fulfill that call. The "cover" is vocational training, and a wall is needed to protect student identities and their activities. ($25,000)

The battle is ongoing, and most recently took the form of an attack that could have been prevented with walls.

In 2000 MCM purchased 12 acres of land in a strategic Muslim city to serve as mission headquarters. Gabriel began construction of a school of missions and discipleship—a place for new Christians to develop their faith and seasoned ones to learn the skills needed to bring light to a very dark region.

The school cost more than Gabriel had at the time it was started. But his faith drove him forward. The school’s concrete foundation was poured…and then remained vacant until resources were obtained.
