Growth Projects
Supporting our Partners to Flourish and Succeed
Our aim is to see the effective preaching of God’s Word equipping God’s people for their mission in the world. To do this we walk alongside our partners to fund projects and provide them the resources they need to succeed.
Campus Development
To equip future church leaders, Bible colleges require adequate and high quality facilities and resources, like classrooms, libraries, dormitories, and culturally sensitive literature. With the rise in online learning, there is the need for electronic libraries, technology and training to improve online theological education in seminaries in the Majority World to meet demands.
Bangkok Bible Seminary (BBS)
BBS uses interactive virtual learning with OBS technology. We assist in setting up electronic libraries with scanners, ebook software, and training, empowering Bible colleges for enhanced theological education.
We need your help to fund:
Online Classrooms
Our partners at BBS have created an online classroom that has resulted in a huge increase in student numbers. The classroom is highly interactive and works with common OBS (Open Broadcaster Software) technology and other programmes to make sure their learning and teaching experience are enjoyable.
Electronic Books
To support the training of pastors and Christian leaders, we recognise the need for relevant literature in Thailand. With the rise of online learning and multi-college campuses, Beacon Partnerships wants to assist by providing specialised scanners, ebook software, technical training, and access to electronic libraries.
It costs just a few thousand dollars to equip and train a Bible college to begin operating their own electronic library.

New Online Library Project
As Bible colleges come out of the lockdown environment, many of them have begun using the skills learnt in the past two years to train more students through online and hybrid classes. The Local Online: A Global Strategy (LOGS) provides IT capacity as well as a range of training workshops to help faculty teach well in this new environment. In many cases there is a desperate need for access to quality online library texts. We are working with our partner, Theological Book Network, to fund a new option for colleges at a much-reduced rate. We are now able to give access to students to download key texts by the hundreds and make them available to our partner colleges through your generosity.
GOAL: $94000
Already raised $47,000
Current need: $47,000

Myanmar Evangelical Graduate School of Theology (MEGST)
Hundreds have been killed and thousands arrested since the military coup in Myanmar. Millions have been affected by restrictions and shortages. In the midst of this, MEGST continues to be a beacon of hope, equipping leaders for the church and society.
Support the training of new Christian leaders in Myanmar by contributing to projects like their replacement generator, apartments for students and improved online classroom for enhanced remote learning.
We need your help to fund:
Online Classroom
The MEGST online classrooms are in need of further development.
With help from supporters we have supplied:
Strategic Apartment for Library Expansion
The apartment has been purchased and converted to a library space. Books that they weren’t able to fit into their previous library has been moved in, and more study desks are available for students.

A new power generator was installed in November 2024, and was used several times just in that month.
