A Message from Our FBC President
Hello Friends,
I hope this letter finds you well.
I'm writing to express my heartfelt gratitude for your ongoing support of Faith Bible College. Your generosity has been instrumental in equipping our students with the knowledge, skills, and faith to become effective leaders in their communities and the world.
God is opening doors for Faith Bible College, here and around the world. We currently have 213 students in Kenya. The instructor has split his students into five units to accommodate teaching them effectively. Our first Concentration Certificate began this fall in the area of Urban Ministry. Concentrations such as this will allow students to take one-credit courses in specific areas of ministry that can be completed in one year. There will be many more of these opportunities in the future. In partnership with Urban Discovery Ministries, four Ugandan students have been taking a course through Zoom to help them lay a solid biblical foundation for their ministries there. We look forward to partnering with Pete and Emily Johnson as they are developing their ministry in La Paz, Mexico, to include a training program for leaders to be better equipped to work and share God’s Word cross culturally. Stateside, we have students in ten different states taking courses through Zoom and online. God is using many of them in the marketplace and in ministries such as youth, music, seniors, and the homeless. We praise God for choosing to use Faith Bible College in so many forms of ministry around the world.
As we continue to provide a transformative education for our students, we are facing significant financial challenges. Rising operational costs, coupled with a dip in enrollment and decreased donations, have made it difficult to meet our financial needs without additional support. Your contribution, no matter the size, will make a significant difference in the lives of our students. Some of you were aware of our original deficit of $150,000.00 and have made generous and sacrificial donations. Thank you! We are truly grateful. At this time, we are still in need of over $100,000.00 by the end of December.
Please pray with us for the Lord to provide all that we need between now and the end of December.
To make a secure online donation, please use our Donate page. You can also mail a check to Faith Bible College, 6330 Newtown Rd., Suite 211, Norfolk, VA, 23502.
Thank you again for your continued support. Your generosity is a testament to your commitment to Christian education in reaching people for the Lord Jesus Christ around the world.
May God bless you and your family.
In His Service,
Kevin
Dr. Kevin D. Newman, ThD
President
