NEW GROWTH: Over the past few months, we have been praying for an increased desire for discipleship among those in our church. God has been answering that prayer! Some who had been inactive for a while have resumed lessons, and several new people have begun discipleship lessons. At least three of these are young men who have recently put their faith in Christ for salvation. God has also brought two new families to begin attending Faith Baptist Church!

NEW OPPORTUNITIES: East Africa Baptist College began a new school year in February, and Dan is teaching two classes this semester. Two of his students, Isaiah and Philip, have begun serving as Interns at Faith Baptist Church. It is always exciting to see our interns mature in ministry as they serve the Lord at our church. Another new opportunity God has provided is the availability of video lectures that we can use to provide theological instruction to our FBC members. We began our first class in January, eight weeks on Bible Doctrines. Fifteen men and women from our church completed the 30 hours of instruction, and as many have enrolled in our next course, Biblical Counseling.

NEW CHALLENGES: As we wait for our building permits, we have been engaging our building contractor to try to finalize the construction contract so we can begin without delay once we have the permits in hand. Surprisingly, the contract they provided last month was about $20,000 above their guaranteed maximum price and excludes about $35,000 of items which were included in the initial design-build contract. Please pray with us as we seek the best way to resolve these discrepancies with our contractor. We are determined to be good stewards of the money God will provide, and we also want to maintain a good relationship with the contractor.

PRAISE THE LORD FOR
• The new families God has brought to Faith Baptist Church.
• Several who have trusted Christ and begun discipleship recently.
• A great Marriage Conference in February.

PLEASE PRAY FOR
• Wisdom in negotiating the construction contract for our church building.
• Continued growth of our church members, especially national church leaders.
