FATEAC Value: “Community” defines how we learn, make decisions, mature spiritually, and prepare for ministry. Community is enhanced by living together.
Problem: 2/3 of our community at FATEAC, the seminary in West Africa, is dispersed in single family dwellings around Abidjan.
(1) They cannot fully participate in the communal maturation valued at FATEAC.
(2) Their wives find it difficult to participate in the women's program-thereby stunting their future ministry.
Part of those students need to live elsewhere for ministry reasons. Many simply cannot be accommodated on campus.
Solution: Complete the second dormitory. That would allow another 25 families (more than 1/3 of our student body) to live, worship, pray and study together as well as hold each other accountable.
In December, we had a team from the Queens Herald Church resurrect that very project. Thanks for giving to our “work special fund” as almost $1000 of that fund was used to purchase construction equipment.
It was a great start. If your church wants to know about partnering with FATEAC, please write. We're opening the roadblock, enlarging the bottleneck, taking the door off its hinges that is restraining the African church from being all it can be...through trained leaders!
Thanks for praying with us, and giving to these projects.
