Christmas Blessings- A Letter From President Dr. Jeffrey A. Bell

Dear Friends,

We felt like we were making history as we held our annual Christmas Banquet at Faith Auditorium on Friday, December 7th. This is the first time we have used the renovated facility for an occasion other than a gym event. The Student Association sponsored this social time, and a good time was had by all.

Students leave on Friday, December 14th for Christmas break. They will return on Thursday, January 3rd to start the spring semester.   We will resume our e-mails at that time. 

We wish you and yours a very MERRY CHRISTMAS and a HAPPY NEW YEAR! May many blessings come your way during this special season.

Blessings,

(Dr.) Jeffrey A. Bell

A Vehicle for Jesus- A Letter from President Jeffrey A. Bell

Dear Friends,

We are so grateful for our staff at Faith Theological and Aquaculture School  in Sogakope, Ghana, West Africa. Those staff members are Dr. Edith Coombes, Mr. Michael Coombes, Mrs. Anette McClellan, Mr. Gordon Blakeney, Mrs. Kelly Blakeney, and Miss Alyse DeMars. All except the Coombes are alumni of Faith School in Charleston. This group has been sent by the Charleston school to train workers for the harvest field in Africa.   

None of these workers have a vehicle. If they want to go any distance they secure a taxi cab. If they desire to take a group of students (there are 30), they must rent a vehicle large enough to carry them. A faithful donor has pledged matching funds up to $10,000 towards a vehicle. We are praying for another $10,000 to complete the purchase. Please pray with us about this need. If you want to be a part of this blessing, contact us at (207) 285-3373 or donate on line atwww.faithschool.org/donate.

Blessings,

(Dr.) Jeffrey A. Bell
President

Giving Thanks- A Letter From President Jeffrey A. Bell

Dear Friends,

I Thessalonians 5:18 - In everything give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.

It is Thanksgiving season. Students and staff will be on break from November 17 - 26. I am thankful for our staff and all their labors at Faith. I am also thankful for our students. They are the very reason we exist. 

We want to give thanks for YOU who pray for and support us in any way. We make mention of YOU in our prayers, asking God to bless YOU.  We trust that you will have a wonderful Thanksgiving time as you gather with friends and family.  

My wife, Faith, and I will be ministering over this Thanksgiving break. We will also be able to be with her family for Thanksgiving. I will resume my communication with you the last week in November.

P.S.  We would appreciate your prayers for a very important Board of Directors meeting on Monday, November 26th.  

Blessings,

(Dr.) Jeffrey A. Bell
President       
Happy Thanksgiving

Jesus Loves the Little Children- A Letter From President Jeffrey A. Bell

Dear Friends,

JESUS LOVES THE LITTLE CHILDREN!  ALL THE CHILDREN OF THE WORLD!

Our team in Ghana is doing a superb work at Faith Theological and Agricultural School in Sogakope. FTAS keeps them extremely busy. They are also trying to help out at a Christian school in Sogakope. 

There is a great opportunity for a husband and wife team who are interested in ministry with children. This couple needs to be willing to raise their own support and go to Ghana for one year to work in this Christian school of over two hundred students. The school has brand new facilities. There is the opportunity to train teachers as well as instill Christian principles into these little ones.

Please pray that God will raise up someone for this ministry. For further details contact me at the following e-mail: president@faithschool.org.

Blessings,

Our Founder- A Letter From President Dr. Jeffrey A. Bell

Dear Friends,

This week, we want to honor our founder, Dr. Russell K. Pier. He will celebrate his 87th birthday on Thursday, October 11th. Dr. Pier founded Faith School of Theology in 1959. He administrated and taught at the school for over 40 years. We are indeed grateful for all the sacrifices that he made over the years. He presently resides in Lakeland, Florida, with his wife, Joan.   Retired? Oh, no! He is still preaching and teaching the Word of God. 

Dr. Pier will appreciate your prayers. He recently injured his shoulder in a scooter accident, and he is facing a recovery period of about ten weeks.

Blessings,

(Dr.) Jeffrey A. Bell

Missions Seminar- A Letter From President Jeffrey A.Bell

Dear Friends,


Our Missions Seminar will be held on Friday, September 28. This all day and evening event is built into our academic calendar. Our main speaker will be Rev. Brad Whipple. Speaker for the workshops will be Rev. Seth Aumock. If you are in the area, please feel free to attend.

Faith School endeavors to keep our costs low for the student. When a student graduates he/she will not be in great debt, and will be able to go to their field of ministry as quickly as possible.

Pictured are four of our alumni who are preaching and teaching at the Faith Theological and Agricultural school in Ghana. This team works under the direction of Dr. Edith Coombes and her husband, Michael. Gordon and Kelly Blakeney graduated in May 2012, Alyse DeMars in 2011. Anette McClellan had previous missionary experience and attended classes at Faith for a year and a half. Had they had a large debt to pay, after school, they would not be on the mission field at this time.

Blessings,

Alumni in Africa- A Letter from President Dr. Jeffrey A. Bell

Dear Friends,

We are so happy that our alumni are ministering all over the world. It was my great pleasure to visit an affiliate school, Overcomers School of Theology in Badagry, Nigeria. This school is administrated by some of our alumni who graduated from the former Christ Ambassadors Faith School of Theology of Nigeria. They use the same curriculum that CAFST used. Rev. Julius Gusanu is the President. In this photo I presented a study Bible to President Gusanu.


Blessings,
