In the fall of 1999, God, in His marvelous mercy, saw fit to put my lovely wife and me into the ministry in Lawrence, Kansas.  Pastor Scott Hanks asked me to be his first assistant pastor and Mary to teach in the school they had just started.  During the seven wonderful years God had us in Kansas, we were called upon to serve in every imaginable ministry, some of which were started during our time there. Also,

Hello from the Brocks in Rapid City, South Dakota! It has been one year since we made the big move from Northwest Indiana to our new ministry at Liberty Baptist Tabernacle in the beautiful Black Hills, and the Lord has been so good in that time. Our new church family immediately welcomed us with open arms and we felt at home from the very first service we attended. We were grateful to see our children

Upon moving back, the Lord has given us many opportunities to serve together in the youth group, bus ministry, music ministry,

Hello! My name is Timothy Weech, and I graduated from Fairhaven in 1999, having experienced the best time of my life second to family, home and church.  I was at Fairhaven, because I thought the Lord had called me to preach, and I graduated with a degree in Pastoral Theology with a Minor in Greek.  Probably the most valuable experiences while I was on campus was the preaching, both in chapel and church services!  God

Greetings from the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains! I am Abigail Smith, and I graduated in 2012. If you would have told me that this Yankee girl would end up in the humid south, I would never have believed you! My plan after graduating college was to return to my beautiful Michigan town and teach there until I died. You would have thought that I would have learned by then that: “God’s ways are not our

  We are Michael and Stephanie Roadcup living in the heart of picturesque Amish country in Lancaster County, PA. We are both Fairhaven Baptist College graduates who graduated in 2005.

It has been our

Hello from New Mexico!  My name is Joy Zdziarski.  I graduated from Fairhaven Baptist College in 2019.  Teaching in Las Cruces, NM has been such an unexpected blessing.  When I signed on to teach at Cornerstone Christian Academy, I did not expect to last longer than a year. Well, three years later I am still teaching.  I have a great group of kids, and I love being their teacher.  Once again God’s way was best. 

I am so thankful that God has allowed me to minister here at Victory Baptist Church in Osawatomie, KS. Just two days after I graduated college in May of 2017, I started what was intended to be a three-month internship. However, God opened the door for me to become the Assistant Pastor here in January of 2018. There have been many new and exciting learning opportunities for me since I first started in full time

My name is Jeff Dean. I graduated from Fairhaven Baptist College in 1995 and married Kristie (née Jaquith) later that year. In 2018, God moved us to Elmira Baptist Church near Vacaville, California.

When one signs up to serve the Lord, one never knows where His direction for life will lead. As has often been said, it is not about how you start a race, but how you finish it. My story with the Lord could be said to have started with my salvation at age thirteen. I had grown up in a Christian home and acknowledged that all that the Bible taught was true. I had even

2020 has definitely been a year to remember! It has been filled with uncertainties, challenges, and difficulties. Yet amongst all of that, the Lord has showed Himself strong and bountiful in blessings. In mid-January we had a super early Spring revival with Brother Boyd Collins. The Lord stirred in hearts through the messages that He brought. I had shared with the folks at the New Year that I felt the Lord was going to take

Over the seven years since graduating from Fairhaven Baptist College, I have often thought of the spiritual challenge I received after the first activity we had on Labor Day of 2010. Bro. Eric Ramos spoke on the events in Elijah’s life as he hid from Ahab in the wilderness and was fed by the ravens. His key thought was to ask God to “do a miracle in my life” during our time spent at Fairhaven.

Hello Fairhaven, My name is Joshua Barzon, and my wife is Laura (Ansley) Barzon. We both graduated from Fairhaven Baptist College in 2016. We are now serving the Lord in Iowa at Pleasantville Baptist Church, which is pastored by AJ Potter. When the Lord led us to move to Iowa, it was a step of faith because I grew up mostly in large cities such as Los Angeles, Boston, Dallas, and Cairo. Now, we live

Hello from rural McConnellsburg, PA.  We moved from Fairhaven to McConnellsburg just over two years ago and helped in a church in the area.  Recently we started Bible Baptist Church in July of 2019.  The Lord never ceases to amaze us!  As normal, things aren’t always easy, but being right where the Lord wants us has been the best place to be! We have a small group of people that are eager to learn the

Hello Fairhaven!  Having Graduated in 2006 with a degree in Sacred Music and in 2007 with a Pastor Theology degree, I waited on my future wife who graduated in 2008 with her Elementary Education degree. Shortly after graduation, April and I were married and settled in Allegan, Michigan, where we attend Faith Baptist Church and I am the Youth Pastor. Our Family Since marriage we have had our family grow by two as Allison is

Hello Fairhaven! Here is a brief update from the Teesdale family.   In December 2004, we were married, and Cassie graduated with an Elementary Education degree in 2005.  We lived in Chesterton until 2006, when we moved to Chicago to work in our church and for Cassie to teach some of our church children.  In 2007, we bought a home in Portage, Indiana while still attending and working in Independent Baptist Church, the church Harold’s

It has been a busy year for the Smith family! About a year ago, our church sold its old property. This was a wonderful opportunity for us since we needed larger facilities. Moving a church was quite an adventure. We were blessed with a nice place to meet while we search for a new property to buy, as well as a place to store all our extra supplies. In November of last year, God blessed

THE RENSHAW FAMILY: DEREK, CHRISTINA, TITUS, ANDREW, AND ELAINA MINISTRY – Currently serving at Hunt Valley Baptist Church in Hunt Valley, Maryland I graduated from Fairhaven Baptist College with a pastoral theology degree in 2013 and completed my masters the following summer.

After graduating in the spring of 2006, I returned to my home church, Freedom Baptist Church, in Auburn, New York. While I waited for the Lord’s direction in regards to full time service, I worked construction and served in various ministries of my church as an assistant to our assistant pastor. After facing discouragement about the fact that I had been out of college several years and was not married or in full time service,

It has been so exciting to see all the opportunities that God has given us to serve. Being an over the road missionary has brought its challenges to raising a family and being involved in our local church. We are constantly all over the country in other churches but seldom home to be involved in our own church or have the kids on any kind of a schedule. But this last year with us building

We are Drew and Lela Mahaney Missionaries to South Korea. We left Fairhaven in 2012 to move to Texas and prepare for our upcoming ministry in foreign missions. We now have three boys Eric (2012), Nathanael(2014), and Reagan (2017). God has blessed our family beyond compare. When I chose, by God’s leading, to attend Fairhaven I knew God wanted me to return to Korea in some capacity. Whether that be a missionary or an English

It has been over 3 ½ years since we moved to Virginia to help Brian’s brother plant a church about 20 miles west of Richmond. When we moved to Virginia in September of 2015, we immediately jumped into some ministries at Gill Grove Baptist Church (the sending church), and also helped with all the preparations for the new church plant. Mt. Victory Baptist Church was started by Pastor Steve Boots in October 2016. God’s hand

We appreciate all of you who are praying for our family and the ministry of Heritage Baptist Church in Manheim, Pa. We are thankful for the many blessings we have received over the past year, and we are excited about what God will do in 2019. One of the highlights of last year was the church’s anniversary Sunday at the end of October. We had a record attendance of 110, with many visitors. Many prayers

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ, It is very exciting to be in the will of God.  Things are not always easy, but the LORD helps us to keep going.  We have to lean on Him for everything.  He knows us best and He knows what we can handle. Many of you know that my mom went to heaven.  I only spent a month with her after college.  This was not very easy, but the LORD gave me the strength

Life and ministry get crazy busy sometimes, and the past few months have certainly fit that description.  Since the school year started, we have felt like someone turned the treadmill up to its highest setting. Berean Baptist Church celebrated our 60th anniversary this year!  We had a wonderful week of preaching, with fourteen different preachers and many friends gathering to celebrate.  We also made a video to document God’s providential hand in upholding and preserving us

Hello from the Lemon Family, We are currently back in America on our third furlough and fourth term as missionaries to the Korean people and beyond.  After graduating in 2003, the Lord led us back to the Independent Baptist Church of Anchorage, Alaska where we would soon find ourselves in an Alaskan village on our first full time missionary outreach.  Late in 2004, I received a call from Korea with a request to return and

In 2006, God called Andy to pastor a new work in Everett, Washington, a

Greetings from the DePriests in the beautiful Pacific Northwest! This month (October) marks the completion of my first year as the pastor of Lighthouse Baptist Church in Port Townsend, WA.   In 2011, my father-in-law was diagnosed with cancer. He went to be with the Lord in early 2012. For a variety of reasons, I began praying about moving here to this area. God confirmed that He would be moving us to Sequim (pronounced “Skwim”).

Thank you for your many prayers for her these last four years.

Hello dear friends at Fairhaven Baptist Church and College, FIND GOD’S WILL AND DO IT! All throughout my college years I saw this monument standing outside of our church building.

When you enlist in full time ministry for your life work, it is amazing at how exciting and incredible your wildest dreams can become. This is exactly what it is like serving here at Faith Baptist Church in Bourbonnais, Illinois. The rewards in service far outweigh the struggles that ministry brings. On Sundays, there are multiple ministries to invest in which include the bus route, playing the piano for our Spanish ministry and special groups,

The Life and Times of the Kuhn Family!

Hello from the North woods of Wisconsin, As I write we still have snow on the ground even though the first official day of spring has come and gone.

After Bible college, we served for almost two years at Grace Independent Baptist Church in Ocean Springs, Mississippi. While

Hello from Pennsylvania! I am not sure what comes to your mind when you think of York, Pennsylvania… maybe you think of pickled beets, hunting camouflage, or coal stoves.  Or maybe you know a bit more about York, and you think of all the industry that has been based here.  Whatever your thoughts, God has allowed Tom and I the opportunity to serve Him here.  God brought us to a place that was very different

Greetings from a tiny lovely Island in the blue Caribbean Sea! As I look back on the journey I embraced coming to Fairhaven Baptist College, I must say that it has prepared me a great deal in many ways that I did not even expect. For that, I thank you all.  I graduated in the year 2013, well equipped and excited to return home to put all the things that I have learned into practice.

It is very hard to believe that it has been 13 years since I have graduated from Fairhaven Baptist College. So much has happened during that time that I could not possibly update you on everything nor would you want me to. What I can say is that God has been faithful to me more than I ever could have imagined. Anna and I are celebrating 12 years of marriage this December, and God has

Greetings to you! A lot of changes have happened in the ministry for us in the past couple of years.   We had been missionaries in Puerto Rico from 2000 till November 2015.   God blessed in so many ways while we were there in allowing us to assist in helping two missionaries plant churches, planting another brand new church, and ending our time there restarting another church that had closed itʼs doors.   We praise the Lord

It has been 34 years since my first visit to Fairhaven as a teenager. I still remember the Holy Spirit putting in my heart that He wanted me to attend Fairhaven for my college education.

Dear Fairhaven Baptist Church and College, It has been a very busy year for our family as well as our church (Richmond Baptist Church in Richmond, Indiana) as we travel through 2016.

In August 1981, I became the oldest student to have enrolled as a Fairhaven Baptist College student. I had come from a business career in Marketing and Sales for an international hotel corporation.
