Tour the Campus!- A Letter from President Dr. Jeffrey A. Bell

Dear Friends,

I am presently at our campus in Sogakope, Ghana, Africa, where I am enjoying the fellowship of the staff and students. This is their first week of the new semester. I will return to the Charleston campus on January 21st. 

In the last two years there have been some changes in the physical appearance of our Charleston, Maine, campus. If you will go to our website (link on this page) you will be able to take a virtual tour of the campus, and see some of those changes. We trust you will rejoice with us when you see how the Lord has blessed us.  

Blessings,

(Dr.) Jeffrey A. Bell

News From the Schools- A letter From President Dr. Jeffrey A. Bell

Dear Danielle,

Proverbs 11:30 - The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life; and he that winneth souls is wise.  We were so excited to hear how our Ghanaian students put this verse into action.

On December 30 a group of students decided to practice what they had learned in Personal Evangelism class. They went to a nearby village and performed a drama. After a few hours of witnessing they had led 100 souls to Jesus! May they keep practicing!

I will be flying to Ghana today to spend a few days with our staff and students, as they open a new semester.

On January 4th we welcomed new students to the Charleston campus.  Among the new students are a young man from Brazil and two ladies from India. Rev. Sterling Lawrence of Smyrna Mills, Maine, was our special speaker! There was a wonderful anointing of the Holy Spirit in each service, and life-changing commitments were made at the altars. 

Please keep our schools in your prayers.

Blessings,

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,

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
