FBC has two new Short Courses to introduce to you. One will start this week on " Armed For Spiritual Warfare, " the other on " The Parables And Me. ". " The Parables And Me " course will begin shortly after the conclusion of our study on Spiritual Warfare.

Prep Review questions are already available on " Armed For Spiritual Warfare. " The first lesson is on Principles of Spiritual Warfare. Each week we will have an audio lesson and prep questions available for consideration. After this course our next course on the Parables will be our course of interest. I trust both will minister to you in a powerful way.

Just like the previous Short Courses series on Moses ( which is still available on our website ). You can study for credit for 50.00 and earn 2 credits. Or, study for personal benefit without the tuition cost. Either way we hope you will take advantage of the series, and I know God is going to touch you in a special
way.

On a technical note. In our last short courses series you couldn't edit your answers after you submitted them, but now I have changed that setting. There are those who were not comfortable with the previous settings. I hope this will rectify that, and allow you to be more at ease in your studies.

With so many folks on vacation the past few weeks, it has been difficult to keep things organized. LOL. Nevertheless, here is the latest from the Ministry and Fellowship of CGMF.

We have combined are Authentic Men and Authentic Women classes into one Neighborhood Group each. Now men and women meet together separately, but at the same location now in smaller groups. Our goal here is that families can stay together and there will be less disruption. We also will be starting in September our Thru The Bible series on Luke. What will be new is that we will have prep study beforehand available for each class. This way you get the most out of each class. Reverend Vossen has designated one of our bible teachers to prepare these prep reviews for us.

Gathering meetings for August were exciting. We had them in two locations. One in Kearney and the other in Omaha. The worship was lively and the Holy Spirit ministered in a wonderful way in each. Seven folks repented and were baptized so far this month, and many filled with His Spirit as God moved in these meetings in a tremendous way. Next month Reverend Vossen will be preaching at the Omaha meeting, and Pastor Jim Harris from Kansas City in our Gathering in Grand Island.

Please be in prayer for the ministry as are Shepherd Leaders gather next month to map out what God has on the agenda for the months to come. Also, changes in Reverend Vossen's involvement in the ministry will be discussed. Reverend Vossen and the Shepherd leaders appointed Skip, Mary and Jeff to handle most of the every day tasks a year or so ago. Yet, leadership senses a change in direction and we are wanting to see how best to proceed in the year to come.

Grace and Peace to all. Enjoy the remainder of your summer.

With the terrible display of hate shown in Charlottesville. I recommend this excellent article from the the Southern Poverty Law
Center. It truly lays out a positive ten step program to counter this movement of white supremacy and hate baiting going
on in this country. Probably the most effective article I have read to counter the current cultural bigotry and bias in the
United States at this time.

FBC family and friends,

With the approval of our General Bishop and Chancellor of Focus Bible College. I have been given permission to extend to all our students, and those who newly enroll a substantial tuition discount. We currently have a yearly cost of 720.00 for undergrads, 777.00 for Master's and Doctoral students, and finally 825.00 for PhD level of studies. Now we are extending a $100 tuition discount for each level of study if paid for annually or in two part payments.

FBC already had great rates for an accredited bible college, but now it is better than ever. If you desire to take advantage of this opportunity to save please contact us at the office by phone or by email. We'd love to hear from you.

Our per course cost without textbooks is 75.00 for undergrads currently and 50.00 for those taking the Short Courses series studies ( of which we will be adding a new course shortly to its curriculum shortly ).

We appreciate all our family and friends at FBC. Please keep FBC in your daily prayers as we desire God's wisdom in His Kingdom work.

God's rich blessings upon all,
Dr. Patrick Vossen
President, FBC
