Currently we have property in the Sacramento Mountains in south central New Mexico, USA, where we are developing plans for a large missionary training center, with one to three year training programs. On site living quarters for single and married students, and courses ranging from theology, business, entrepreneurship, building trades, and bush pilot training. A key element will be real on the job work and training to put the class room work into practice. These jobs will be managed by several independent companies contracted under a master management contract held by Hatfield & Company, Inc., that will work in conjunction with the training center. The region where this will all take place is high mountain country with four seasons, lush timber, dozens of small communities and more remote than most other parts of the state. It is ideal for the kind of training center we are putting together. We will have the use of a 6,000' privately owned and maintained airstrip at 6,380' elevation, ideal for bush pilot training. The airstrip is currently 5,000' long but plans and designs are in progress to increase that to 6,000' plus. The young men and women who graduate from this program will return to their native areas to rejoin their local congregations, family and friends and become very key elements in the future development of their communities. They will take with them new knowledge, skills and experience sufficient to bring about cultural change and beliefs that will bring glory and honor to Christ.
