As new home churches continue to thrive, congregations often outgrow the homes available for fellowship. In a region with annual monsoon rains, it is important to locate facilities that are covered so that entire congregations can meet together without concern about the weather. Oftentimes these home churches grow to the point that they have a need for a larger congregational area, but do not have the financial resources available to construct a separate church building. MMS International and their partners provide funding so new churches can be built. Oftentimes a new enclosed church building can be funded for as little as $2000 in US currency, and can make the difference between whether a local home church continues to grow or becomes stagnant.
In some cases Christian believers have been persecuted into fleeing from their home country because of their faith. Groups of these dispossessed people have been forced to live at refugee camps in adjacent countries. New church buildings provided by Americans in these refugee camps not only become a house of worship to God, but also a point of assembly so that the people can retain a social identity within a strange new culture.
