The Summer Term 2008 application is available!
We will not be mass-mailing this year’s brochure to our entire mailing list. Instead we will send a copy to each school on our mailing list and each former student of summer terms 2006 and 2007. Others should request a copy or download it from the web. You may also apply online for this term.

The spring newsletter has gone to press! Here’s a sneak preview of the contents of this quarter’s newsletter.
The web version of the newsletter is available here (click preview to open, PDF, 1.0 MB).
Milo and Mary Sue Zehr began a well-deserved sabbatical from FBEP in August of 2007. They chose to move to the Lancaster area where they enjoyed some rest and Milo took additional pastoral training. As they considered their personal vision and calling in light of Faith Builders’ focus on training teachers and church workers, they decided not to return to Faith Builders at the end of their sabbatical.
We keenly miss their presence and contribution. In spite of the “hole” that their departure has created, we seek to honor and respect the decision they have made.
Milo continues in his role as head pastor of Shalom Mennonite Church. As his journey continues to unfold, appropriate church leadership will be put in place to pave the way for the transitions that will need to happen.
Please pray with us that these changes will be a blessing to Milo and Mary Sue, to FBEP, and to the church at large.
Faith Builders Christian School’s 8th annual benefit auction will be held Saturday, June 7, in the Faith Builders gym. The auction helps cover general expenses as well as providing funds for capital items and improvements in the school. All are welcome to attend.
Strong interest in our scholarship program has depleted funds available to new students. You can sponsor a student for fall 2008 now by sending a contribution for ‘FB Scholarships.’ Donations may be made by check or by credit card online.
David and Mary King have been serving as FB house-parents since the fall of 2007. Their warm presence has been a blessing to us. Church leadership needs in their home community call them back to Buffalo Valley. They will return home in June. We are in need of an older retired couple with a pastoral nature to replace them. Maintenance and janitorial skills or business experience are not required but are definite assets for this voluntary-service position. Please contact Brandon at 814-789-4518 ext 348 to inquire about this opportunity or to recommend a couple.
