Coming to FGBI has been by far the most spiritually beneficial decision I have ever made, and God has left no room for doubt.  It has been a time of dedication solely to God, focused on what  He wants for me.  I am so thankful to God and the faculty of FGBI for this awesome opportunity.”

     The same spirit of worldliness that has overrun many churches in America is being propagated around the world.  The standards of America often become the standards of the world.  Why shouldn’t holiness young people set the standard of the Gospel on the mission field? 

     Our students have already displayed a heart for the mission field not just in their praying, but also in their giving.  After hearing Rev. Gene Huff tell of God’s bountiful provision for his outreach to Romania a few years ago, we received an offering from our students to finance a youth camp on the Island of Samar in the Philippines.  This is scheduled to
