Nagaland Bible School
THE NEW CAMPUS FOR THE NAGALAND began in May 2016. This
was done by renting two buildings for clas-ses and places
for the students to live. It was very costly, so I urged
Sing to find out the cost of land. Due to the very large
population in the country land is very expensive, especially
near the larger cities. Since the country is tropical it
lends itself to simple housing; so I asked Sing about
leasing land and building our own campus. As you can see
from the pictures he went at the project with boldness. He
was able to lease for ten years two-thirds of an acre for
$720.00 a year and on May 9th, he was ready to begin
construction. It, as you see, is made of bamboo, with tin
roofs and concrete floors. Simple Besides the main building
which will be used as a classroom and a place for worship,
it has eight other buildings on the grounds. They consist of
two separate buildings as dormitories for men and woman,
other classrooms, separate rooms as housing for teachers and
staff, toilets for students, staff and teachers; and others.
All the buildings (9) altogether occupy 7,150 square feet
and the total cost of construction was $24,410.00, which
means the cost per square foot was $3.41. In comparison in
India a brick and mortar building costs just over $18.00 a
square foot.
