Closing and Graduation- A Letter from President Dr. Jeffrey A. Bell

Dear Friends,     I am in Ghana, Africa, for the closing week of Faith Theological & Agricultural School. Our pilot program has been in operation for one semester. We look forward to opening again in the fall. I will arrive back in Charleston on Monday evening, April 30. This will be the final week of our spring semester. Rev. James Schuelke of Inwood, West Virginia, will be coming to preach the Convention on May 2 and 3. On Saturday, May 5, we will send our senior class into the harvest field. We would be delighted if you could join us for the convention services and graduation. Blessings, (Dr.) Jeffrey A. Bell President

News From Crusades- A Letter From President Dr. Jeffery A. Bell

Dear Friends,     The students returned from Spring Crusade with wonderful reports of what God did in and through them. They were in churches as far north as Ontario, Canada, and as far south as Virginia. There were reports of approximately twenty people who gave their hearts to Jesus. One of the students, herself, received the Baptism of the Holy Spirit.  We are amazed at how often God gives wisdom in sending just the right student to a church. One young man who has a particular sickness was sent to a church where someone who had just been diagnosed with the same sickness had need of encouragement. We did not know about that person in the church, but God did. Crusade is an important part of our curriculum. Students take what they learn in the classroom and apply it in the practical realm. We are indeed grateful to the host churches.  Blessings, (Dr.) Jeffrey A. Bell President

Crusades- A Letter from President Jeffrey A. Bell

Dear Friends,     There was much excitement as students left for Spring Crusade on March 8 and 9. There was much talk about preaching, teaching, singing, and doing maintenance work. They are traveling as far north as Ontario, Canada, and as far south as Virginia. We appreciate all those churches and pastors who are giving our students on-site practical training. Students have an opportunity to put what they have learned in the classroom into real-life experience. Dr. Gail A. Januskiewicz and the Drama team will be in the Baltimore, Maryland, area. I will be traveling with the Faith Trio. If we are in your area, we would enjoy meeting you.   Blessings, (Dr.) Jeffrey A. Bell President

Passing of two Faith Soldiers- A Letter From President Dr. Jeffrey. A. Bell

Dear Friends,     This past week two of our Faith soldiers went home to be with the Lord. They will be missed in our ranks. Rev. David Jones (1966) of Wade, North Carolina, passed away on February 18, 2012. He was 76 years old. Over the years he and his wife, Mary-Jane (Pier) pastored in different places, and he drove truck to supplement his income. He ministered at Faith as a teacher and bookkeeper for a few years.   Rev. David Britenriker (1989) of Pembroke, New Hampshire, passed away on February 22, 2012, at the age of 50, after a bout with cancer. David and his wife, Debbie (Rzonca) ministered as the Headmasters at the Jamaican branch of Faith. Over the years they have been very loyal to the church wherever they attended. Please pray for the families of these two well-loved graduates. Blessings, (Dr.) Jeffrey A. Bell President

Faith Auditorium- A Letter from President Dr. Jeffrey A. Bell

Dear Friends,     For many, many years our gymnasium has needed repairs and a face lift. It is our delight to tell you that the renovation of the inside of the gymnasium is underway. It will be made into an all-purpose facility - gymnasium, convention, and banquet room - Faith Auditorium. We will be able to continue its use as a gym, and also house special events. The reconstruction should be done by the middle of March.     We are very grateful to God for the provision that has been made for our campus over the last year and a half. Blessings, (Dr.) Jeffrey A. Bell President

Faith Theological and Agricultural School- A Letter From President Dr. Jeffrey A. Bell

Dear Friends,     Praise God the Faith Theological and Agricultural School in Sogakope, Ghana, West Africa is a reality. I went there on January 18 to be present at the grand opening. We have twenty-seven students enrolled in this pilot project. Two alumni members from Faith School of Theology - USA, are there teaching -  Miss Kasey DeMars and Mrs. Annetta McClellan. We ask an interest in your prayers as Faith Mentors for Ministry in Ghana. The college is led by Headmaster Michael Coombes and Mrs. Coombes is the Dean of the Agricultural Department. I have been to the school twice this week - by internet - to teach. It is great! Blessings, (Dr.) Jeffrey A. Bell President

Mid-Years and Scholarships- A letter From President Dr. Jeffery A. Bell

Dear Friends,     A new semester has begun at Faith. On January 6, 2012, we welcomed ten students as midyears. This is one of the largest mid-year classes that we have had in quite some time. Rev. Ed Michael of Baltimore, Maryland, preached the opening services. He brought inspiring messages, which we will not soon forget. Do keep us in your prayers as we continue to MENTOR FOR MINISTRY. We want to extend a very special thank you to the Brennan family of Northfield, Massachusetts. Sean Brennan died in a car accident a few years ago. He was in his senior year at Faith. The Brennans give funds for a scholarship each year. This year the scholarship was divided between Mr. Bryan DeLeon of Skowhegan, Maine, and Mrs. Gail Lund of West Warwick, Rhode Island. If there is anyone that would like to add to this scholarship fund, we know it would be deeply appreciated by both the Brennans and our students.  Blessings, (Dr.) Jeffrey A. Bell President
