35 & COUNTING...


It’s been just over 2 months since the conception of the FNC Academy.  We couldn’t have asked for a better beginning.  At the start, most of our students could barely write their own name.   Now they are writing short, but complete sentences!  And you should hear their English, now that they have had extensive work using the “Hooked on Phonics” tools.  Their little brains are becoming strong and smart, thanks to our amazing team of teachers and YOUR support.  Together, we are truly providing Hope to the hopeless.



FNC Academy held it’s first parent/teachers meeting, and can you believe we had a better than 90 percent turn out!  The parents/guardians that couldn’t show did give us a valid excuse and ended up coming the very next day…we couldn’t have been more pleased with our parents’ support.  



Did I mention we were growing and building???  Thanks to a very generous donation, FNC has been able to add on another classroom, and to it’s enrollment 12 more students, for a total of 35!  Because of the additional students and grade, we also had the opportunity to employ 3 more ladies from our Pillars and Ornaments women’s ministry.  These ladies will be assisting our head teachers in the classroom. 


We have 7 students that still need sponsored.  Would you prayerfully consider supporting one of our remaining students?  For more information, please click on our FNC ACADEMY link at the top of this page.



Our weekly and small group ministries have been studying and going through the gospel of Mark.  Baptism has come up a lot as of recent, questions about it and why to do it.  We’ve taken this opportunity to teach what the bible has to say regarding the subject.  Last month we had a total of 4, two women and two men immersed into the waters of baptism.  Just last week, the World Changers, (our teens ministry) began a study and conversation about baptism, and from the reports, it looks like there are more to come!  Just a quick note:  We decided to retire the “Barrel” for baptisms and have purchased a small blow-up pool...working a bit better.   



Thank you for your constant prayers and support,

Todd G.
