Partner in Bringing the Gospel to Burma....
I’m humbled that you’ve clicked to come to this page. Thank you. I started the Jungle Discipleship School with about $2000 in my bank account, trusting God would provide for us. You can see our current needs listed out below and where we’re at in funding them. We decided early on that the most important thing we needed was to just be together, staff and students. We can sleep in hammocks in the jungle and cook in small cooking pots. We can sit on the ground and make our classroom anywhere. This is not ideal, but as long as we are together, we can start. Everything else is bonus – having houses, dorms, classrooms, toilets, internet, matching uniforms, and a farm makes the program and learning so much better, but it isn’t required. If God is leading you to partner with us, I just want to sincerely say Thank You! Your financial support brings the gospel into Burma, in deep ways. You are a life changer.
Thank you for those who gave to JDS-1. Our current needs are around $60,000 USD for JDS-2. Consider partnering with us.

JDS-2 Needs
Build a Dorm/Classroom ($7000)
1 of 5 funded
We need male and female dorms as well as a couple classrooms. To buy cement, lumber, nails, roofing, etc. costs around $7000 per building. Donations made for building projects have lower admin fees, so consider giving to help us build our campus!

Feed JDS-2
($5000/month)
0 of 10 funded
It's not cheap to feed 40 hungry people each month! Part of the monthly cost for food goes to our farm/garden. Students are responsible to raise pigs, chickens as well as taking care of the vegetable garden. JDS also supports local farmers by buying any vegetables they are willing to sell from their farms.
Urgent Need. Food costs are our biggest, on-going costs.
Buy Bibles and School Supplies ($6000)
0 of 1 funded
Watch the video. This is one of our student's bibles from JDS-1. Our Bible reading is one of the most transformational aspects of the program. We want to buy 150 high quality bibles, 70 are for our staff and students but we also got a request from the local high school boarding house in the IDP camp for bibles too, so we want to help them as well. These beautiful bibles become like a treasure for our students. This money will also help support school supplies like notebooks, pens, markers, etc.
Outfit a Student ($1000)
0 of 40 funded
We provide everything for our students from flip-flops to underwear to PT clothes and school uniforms. We also need to provide specialized equipment for missions (backpacks, med kits, and shoes).
Hands and Feet Mission ($9000)
0 of 2 funded
Our staff and students all go out to be the hands and feet of Jesus - bringing the gospel and a cup of cold water to the people who need it most in Burma. On these missions we bring enough medicine to treat 1000 patients, we also bring seeds and teach villagers how to grow vegetable gardens.
Medicince ($1,300)
1 of 10 funded
We try to keep medicine stocked on our campus, for our staff and students, but also for villagers and IDPs who live nearby. We have 3500 neighbours (over the mountain) who lost their USAID funding (food and medicine) and rely on us to help. We want to be able to buy and resupply medicine each month to be able to provide tangible help.
Motorcycles ($2500)
0 of 4 funded
Motorcycles are the best way to move people and supplies in Burma. These little motorcycles are tough and can carry 3-4 loads. Slap some chains on them in rainy season and they just keep going. These bikes make a huge different to day to day jungle life. Bikes are constantly broken, so having a fleet of bikes keeps us able to serve and move. We're so pumped about our bikes and have named them all!
Staff Houses ($5000)
0 of 4 funded
We want to take care of our staff and their families. Some of our staff come with their spouses and kids and we want to make them comfortable in a staff house. We also try to provide a small monthly salary for our ethnic staff!
​
This is a JDS Year 2 Funding Goal. This is not a current JDS Year 1 need.
Solar/Batteries ($4000)
0 of 1 funded
As we continue to grow in JDS-2, our needs for solar also grow. We are so happy with and love our current solar system, but batteries, panels, and wires always need upgrading and maintenance. We also need to run long copper wires to power buildings in the jungle. This money will be used to electrical and upgrading our solar grid.

One last note about giving to JDS...
While we really need your help, we also only want you to give if you feel God is leading you to give. We have huge needs, but we are following and serving a God who is bigger! We don't want to manipulate anyone to give by our photos or stories.
​
You give to God, He'll take care of us.
​
So please consider this prayer, "God, should I give something to JDS? Are you leading me into this?" Then pause for a few minutes and listen to your spirit.
