We've almost got all of the classes up, which means we can focus more on researching and getting more information on individual profiles. In 2008 we created a coffee table edition Torchbearer, for the 50 year anniversary of FGBI. For that project, we collected a lot of information from alumni and compiled our "forms" in three ring binders. For several years I have been waiting for the opportunity to put that treasure of information to use in other aspects. We will be able to use information we have on hand to fill out several profiles for those who haven't made it to the site yet. We don't have everybody, but have enough to make a significant contribution to the site.
I'm looking forward to several new features. One of which is the tributes pages. Right now, we only have a tribute to Rev. Chester Heath, but the tribute section will expand to cover several people who were highly influential to the alumni of Free Gospel Bible Institute. They are being built according to what we have on hand.
We also have a page to honor all of those lives that have gone on to be with the Lord. If you know of an alumnus, or associate of FGBI that has passed away and should be listed among these, please let us know. We do not want to leave anyone out, but we don't know everyone.
Also, you will see opportunities to leave comments around the site. I am excited about this, since it gives you more opportunities to interact with each other. So far these are only on the News page, and a few "memorialized" profiles (profiles of people who have passed away). They may pop up in other places, where it seems appropriate.
The Alumni Dues Online Payment Option is now available. We'd like to thank those who have been faithful to submit their dues, and we hope more will follow!
