The Indonesian Theological Seminary (STTI) was founded by the Convention of Indonesian Baptist Churches to train the denomination’s pastors and missionaries. The school has graduated more than 600 students, who are now serving the Lord as teachers, pastors, church planters, evangelists, and social workers. These graduates currently serve in over 24 provinces in Indonesia, the 4th most populous country in the world with 85% Muslims and people groups who do not know Christ. 
"Now I am here, studying

at the Seminary to respond

to the call of God for me

​​ to become an evangelist."
The seminary has a serious housing crisis. The most critical need is for a new boys’ dormitory. Most of the students need accommodation while studying in Manado and the current dorm was built nearly 50 years ago as a temporary structure. It has deteriorated to the point where the floors are constantly soggy and the walls are moldy, cracked and crumbling in places. Part of the dorm was even closed because of ground water that caused students to become seriously ill. Now, with growth in the student population, the current 10-room dorm is an overcrowded unhealthy residence.
"Many Indonesians are coming

to the Lord.  I pray that God will

​continue to bless the seminary

as it educates new Christian

leaders for the work of
​
​His Kingdom."
We are seeking to raise $175,000 by the end of 2019, to build a modern 2 story boys’ dormitory to house up to 84 students. This will cover construction and furnishing of this facility including dining/study areas and washrooms. Please consider as a church, an organization, or an individual, to donate to this appeal to build this new Boys’ Dorm providing a healthy environment for these students to live. Should donations reach the target by the end of 2019, construction will begin early in 2020 and be completed within 6-8 months. Together we can show the love of Christ to these students and make this New Dormitory a reality.
