Flowers Are In by President Dr. Jeffrey A. Bell

Dear Friends,

Luke 10:2 "The harvest truly is great, but the labourers are few; pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he would send forth labourers into his harvest." It was a beautiful day in Charleston as our staff planted 525 marigold plants up the walkways, and in other places around the campus.  Some dug holes, others dropped the plants in the holes, and others buried the roots.  All will reap the beauty of the flowers.  As we think about the flowers and how they need the soil, sunshine, rain, and weeding to get the finished product, we think about the harvest of souls that the Lord is asking for.  In order to reap souls we need to send labourers into his harvest field.  To send labourers, we need students to train.  At the end of every school year we have churches and other ministries call us for workers.  So often, we have to tell them that our graduates are already going to other ministries.  Would you pray with us for our student enrollment for the fall?  If you know of anyone, younger or older, that would like to attend Bible college, would you tell them about Faith School of Theology?  We are here to MENTOR FOR MINISTRY!      Blessings, (Dr.) Jeffrey A. Bell President

First Ghana Graduation by President Dr. Jeffrey A. Bell

Dear Friends,

I was in Sogakope, Ghana, Africa, from April 17 - 29 at the Faith Theological and Agricultural School. We held our first graduation for ten graduates. I was privileged to be the guest speaker.  The Lord has provided funds so that we now have an on-campus dormitory on the property that we rent for the school. It was previously a six-car garage, and will now house fifteen students, and a classroom/chapel/library. We are excited about this week as we hold our Emerald Anniversary (55 years) Celebration here in Charleston. A large number of alumni and friends will be coming to the campus to celebrate with us. It would be a pleasure to see you at any or all of the events. For more information please see our website. Blessings, (Dr.) Jeffrey A. Bell President

Campus Days is Here by President Dr. Jeffrey A. Bell

Dear Friends,

Today through  Saturday (April 10 - 12) is Campus Days at Faith. Today, approximately eighty registrants and chaperones will descend on the campus. They will stay in the dormitories with our students, eat in the cafeteria, attend classes and chapels, and see life in general at Faith. Some of them will make eternal decisions concerning their future and Faith. We welcome them. I will be flying to Atlanta, Georgia, today, to attend an IABCS convention. While there I will have the opportunity to preach the Sunday morning service at Victory Tabernacle in Conyers, Georgia. I will return to school on Tuesday evening, April 15th. Blessings, (Dr.) Jeffrey A. Bell President

Mentoring for Ministry by President Dr. Jeffrey A. Bell

Dear Friends,

One of our main goals at Faith School is to Mentor For Ministry. That is accomplished in several ways. One of those ways is through our Outside Ministry program. Students are sent to churches that request them on  weekends for ministry. In addition to this we send our students on a ten-day Crusade each semester. Students are assigned to requesting churches and ministries. This means that the average student will receive sixty days of on the job, immersion ministry before they graduate, in addition to their weekend ministries. We do not know of any other Bible school (there very well may be) that offers this type of program. It is always exciting for the staff when students return from their Crusades. During this recent Spring Crusade, students saw sixty-eight people receive Jesus as their Savior. Several people were filled with the Holy Spirit, and some significant healings  took place. I ask an interest in your prayers as I prepare to travel to our Bible school in Ghana, Africa, in the middle of April. Blessings, (Dr.) Jeffrey A. Bell President
