Ministry by President Dr. Jeffrey A. Bell

Dear Friends,

My wife, Faith, and I had a great opportunity to preach in two churches this past Sunday. In the morning we were at Grace Assembly of God in Woodsville, New Hampshire, with Pastor Bruce and Cindy Lee (both graduates of the class of 1974). In the evening we were in Newport, Vermont, with Pastor Mark (graduate - 2004) and Pauline Aube at Faith Lighthouse Assembly of God. At both of these services we presented the school and felt like the Lord talked to hearts.  My staff and I are busy planning and preparing for the fall semester.   Please keep us in your prayers. Blessings, (Dr.) Jeffrey A. Bell President

Vacation by President Dr. Jeffrey A. Bell

Dear Friends,

My wife, Faith, and I are in New Jersey for a few days vacation. It was our joy to attend a surprise birthday party for Faith's father, Mr. Daniel DiBonaventura, of Millville, New Jersey, who turned 90 years young. We also are visiting with her brother, Nathan, and her sister, Hope. This week we will say good-bye to staff members - Revs. Glenn and Bethany Gromel as they leave to pastor in Mattawamkeag, Maine; Mr. Russell and Mrs. Amanda Kneeland as they go to operate a Christian School in Hudson, New York; and Mr. Kyle and Mrs. Jennifer Kovar as they relocate to Mississippi. We will miss these staff members and their families! The work continues in Charleston. Thank you to our staff for all that they do - whether it be in the office or on the grounds. Thank you to our supporters. Your prayers and financial help mean so much, and we pray that God will bless you for your sacrifices. Blessings, (Dr.) Jeffrey A. Bell President

Travels by President Dr. Jeffrey A. Bell

Dear Friends,

It was my pleasure to travel to Knoxford, NB, Canada on Sunday, June 8th to participate in the ordination of Gordon and Kelly Blakeney (both graduates of 2013).  The Blakeneys were ordained by Knoxford Praying Band Church.  Gordon was also ordained by Faith Chapel - Faith Fellowship International of Charleston, Maine.  Rev. and Rev. Blakeney have been instructors at our school in Ghana, Africa.  They will be working at the school in Charleston this next year, with plans to return to Ghana in August 2015. On June 12th, my wife, Faith, and I will be traveling to New Jersey for a few days of vacation.  We will return on Monday, June 23rd. Blessings, (Dr.) Jeffrey A. Bell President

NEEDED!! by President Dr. Jeffrey A. Bell

Dear Friends,

NEEDED:    Are you looking for an opportunity to use your handyman talents for the Lord, and touch people at the same time?  Faith is looking for a good all-around handyman.  This person should have a bit of knowledge about a lot of things.  What you don't know, we can teach you.  Must be hard-working, and willing to labor for a minimum wage.  Will have opportunities to touch the lives of students for the Lord.

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
