NUMERICAL GROWTH

   We have a reached a critical time in the ministry of FGBI. It is not a crisis of despair but a pinnacle of hope. In a time when many preach a great falling away, WE ARE GROWING! We have experienced an increase in enrollment over the past two years of over 43%. Enrollment that once dropped to 79 has now reached 113. We praise God for His blessing upon this work and look forward to sending forth not merely graduates, but Holy Ghost appointed ministers of the Gospel.

MINISTERIAL GROWTH

   This has not only been a time of numerical growth, it has also been a time of great spiritual advances. In just a few short months we will be graduating yet another class of laborers.
   Among them is a young man that carries a great anointing and is ready to step into a full time evangelistic ministry. It is our vision to make it possible for such a thing to happen.
We are educating and preparing

 graduates. The next logical step would be to enable them to make an immediate impact by providing the means necessary for the first year of ministry!
   We must begin to enable our graduates that have proven themselves faithful to go forth unhindered into the harvest field and carry the fire of the Holy Ghost into churches across America.

We would love to be able to supply a small motor home or a truck and trailer to put this young man on the evangelistic field immediately upon graduation. Thus we are casting our vision before you.
~Michael Touchton, Senior

   Would it not be a tremendous victory to help provide the tools necessary to place a young evangelist on the field? All it would take is a small motor home or a truck and trailer for one year. Do you have a burden and means to make such a

miracle happen? If so, please contact us as soon as possible!
 

PHYSICAL GROWTH

   Beyond placing ministers into the harvest immediately, we must begin to take steps toward constructing the necessary buildings to facilitate our present growth and prepare for an even greater influx of students.



   Our ladies dorm is full and we have few options for increased dorm space. Application requests for our Fall Term are arriving regularly. God must move in order to provide what is necessary for the advancement of His Kingdom. We praise God for this exciting time of growth!

IF YOU COULD SEE WHAT WE ARE SEEING...

   Tonight I have seen “young Christians desiring to get closer to God; young men and women helping and encouraging one another; a staff that has a desire for the students and the lost world; the room is full of students willing to do God’s will, no matter what it takes. God bless F.G.B.I.” -The Stevens Family

   Tonight I have witnessed the ecstasy of the power of the Holy Ghost.” -Joe Ganze

   If you could witness what we are seeing here tonight, you would find no greater cause to support than the enabling of young people to experience for themselves the mighty revivals not just of yesterday but as Joel spoke of in Chapter 2 and Peter witnessed in Acts 2. We must by all means take every possible step to advance the work of the Lord through the ministry of FGBI.

   “In this one night I have witnessed God move on more people and in more ways than I ever have before.”
-Laura Reece

   “I felt the Holy Spirit so close and real. His presence was so real and it seemed as if all His greatness was revealed to me in a split second.”
