In the days before she left and on the way to the airport, she spoke of how she has been changed as a result of coming to FCS. She specifically mentioned the ways in which she was\u00a0challenged\u00a0to think more deeply about her relationship with Christ because of\u00a0Bible class. We had many discussions about spiritual issues with Lucy because of things that had been brought up in your class. As we drove her away from school last Friday after Eagle Fair, she looked back at the school for as long as it was in view with tears in her eyes.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>It was so hard to say goodbye to her after living with her for 2 years and\u00a0knowing\u00a0we will probably never see her again. We sent her off with a spiral of note cards with\u00a0selected Bible verses to live by and the message that she will always be in our prayers and in our hearts.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>-Note we received from Lucy&#8217;s Host Parents<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>At Faith Christian School, we have students from every walk of life and from many parts of the globe.
