We’re excited to see blessings and ministry opportunities that God has given to the families of a Faith Bible Seminary alumnus and a current student.<\/p>\n

Little Additions, Huge Blessings<\/h2>\n

The Franklin Family (pre-Justus)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Brad Franklin<\/a> (M.Div. Class of 2010) and his wife Megan have added a new member to their family\u2014a son named Justus Tyndale Franklin. Little Justus had some difficulties right after birth. Justus was born 3 weeks early and was rushed immediately to the intensive care unit. Justus has since\u00a0been moved to a\u00a0special care unit and his health has shown marked improvement.<\/p>\n

Another one of our students, Drew Papillon (M.Div. class of 2013), recently welcomed a new life into the world as well. Drew\u2019s wife Amy was in labor for 36 hours before she gave birth to a boy, Judah Andrew Kyrie (this is their first). Amy and Judah are both doing well.<\/p>\n

Challenging and Rewarding Ministry Opportunities<\/h2>\n

Drew and Amy are also contributing to the Kingdom of God through their example of their faith during trials. Some of you might know that Drew had to undergo surgery to remove a tumor from his brain. The surgery was a success and Drew has recovered well. However, Drew and Amy can use your prayers. After meeting with a neuro-oncologist, Drew and Amy were informed that this condition is one that they will have to monitor closely for the remainder of Drew\u2019s life. While Drew and Amy are incredibly thankful to God, this is still difficult news. Drew is very thankful for FBS for being so \u201cgracious and generous\u201d to him and his wife. Drew and his wife are learning to trust God more and more as they undertake this trial. (Here’s his video testimonial from before the surgery.)<\/p>\n
