Rebuilding the Walls - From President Jeffrey A. Bell


The Nehemiah Project is ON!  Pastors Jim Gurganus and Jim Howe have been used of God to raise up workers out of their churches to help "rebuild the walls" of FST.  On August 1, the work will begin!  For one week the place will be buzzing.  Everything from remodeling the kitchen to painting the dorms.  There will be lots to do. If you would like to be part of the miracle of keeping FST moving ahead, you can come for the week to work or send finances to help with the projects. Prayer is always in order.  Please pray for those coming to be blessed as they come to bless FST.  Thank you Pastors Gurganus and Howe for your vision and leadership in this project.
 
Blessings,


(Dr.) Jeffrey A. Bell
President

Verbal Flowers - From the President

This week's e-mail is to give verbal flowers to someone who has recently completed 41 years of service at Faith.  She worked at the Brooklin, Charleston, and Florida campuses.  She has done just about every job at the school except for maintenance.  She has recently stepped back from the Academic Department.  She will now be the Human Resources Director, continue to work with the Alumni, work with the Board of Directors, and be of help to me with some special projects.  May God continue to bless Pearl L. Wells.
 
Blessings,


(Dr.) Jeffrey A. Bell
President

Painting the Campus with Marigolds - A Letter From Dr. Jeffrey Bell


During the month of May we had a lot of rain in Maine. Thus, we are a few days late in planting flowers on the campus. Staff members plant 600 marigolds just on the walkways at the Institute and Tracy Hall. Other potted flowers are distributed around the campus. Most of these flowers are paid for by people who save their empty bottles throughout the year.

We receive many compliments throughout the summer concerning how beautiful the campus looks with all the flowers.

For several years we have had no place, except the great outdoors, to park our snowplow and other equipment. As you know, Maine has severe winters, and can be hard on equipment left to the elements. We are happy to report that a shed has been built on to our furnace building. This will aid us greatly in getting our vehicles under cover.
 
Blessings,
