Here he is.....walking the line after three long, hard years of work.
Jason standing with the head of the machinists program.
Even grandmom and grandpop made it.
Here's Jason with the school's chaplain and long time family friend Rev. Mark Specht.
And finally, mom made it all the way from Germany. What a wonderful day !!!
Congratulations Jason, we love you and are so proud of you.

Another BFA Grad, but from the Coast Guard Academy


Micah Gentile, a BFA alumni, was privileged to receive his diploma from the top. We've seen 4 Gentile kids graduate from BFA over the years as well as many others whose parents have been faithfully serving the Lord here in Europe. Micah's parents worked for Campus Crusade for years. His sister Bethany graduated with our son Jeff, and his brother Josh graduated with Jason.

BFA Graduation 2007


It was my privilege to hand out 73 diplomas this year and watch each graduate walk across the stage smiling for moms and dads from all over Europe, North Africa and the Middle East.
This particular graduate is Luke Shuman, son of our Director Tim. Tim is on my right and Mark Wiebe, the board chairman, is on my left. The three of us are in an accountability group that meets every Thursday morning. Great guys !!!
Having completed 12 years of service at BFA this year, Luke and another student Timo, mark a milestone for Debby and me, in that we were there as they both entered 1st grade 12 years ago.
