Thieves Strip Our Girl's Dorm of Copper Plumbing

Thieves broke into our Bible College the other night and stripped out all the copper plumbing in the girls' dorm. Thankfully, no girls were sleeping there when the robbery occurred

Apparently that is a big thing down here, now that scrap copper is paying over $2.50 a pound. One of our church members had his house stripped of copper plumbing while he and his wife were asleep in their home and they never heard a thing. In concrete houses, most of the plumbing runs across the roof and down the outside of the walls, so it is easily accessible to thieves.

Please pray for our Puerto Rico Baptist College.

Other needs that we have:

  • Replacing the copper plumbing with non-copper plumbing
  • Repair of a large commercial size refrigerator that we use in our kitchen
  • Repair of the 15 passenger van we use for the College.
  • Funds to support students. 


Students pay $300 a month for room, board and tuition. Students are required to work in local churches during the weekends. Our church takes two students every semester. They help us and we try to help them. Funds that we receive for the students are paid to them through the church and so the financial support helps both the student and the Bible college, as well as our church that benefits from their help.
