Dear ABC Friends,
Below is an exciting letter about a brand new program that we are putting in place. For the first time ever you will be able to directly sponsor an ABC student of your choice. There are dozens of sharp, wonderful deserving students at our three campuses in Africa. You can now go online to see them, read about them and chose one whose life you would like to drastically change. I've been in Africa for a long time and I promise you, nothing is as life-changing as an education at ABC.
Thank you very much for taking a few minutes to read the attached letter. The program is being headed up by a close friend of mine, Corey Conkright. Corey runs our ABC West Coast Office and attends my twin brother's church in Arizona [The Grove Bible Church]. Corey has made two trips to Africa in the past year, including leading a team of 63 from The Grove to Malawi. Corey has a genuine heart for our students and he strongly believes that if you will take a moment to read their stories at www.abcsponsorship. org that you will be as passionate about helping them as he is.
May God bless you and your family,
Paul Chinchen, ThD

Introducing ABC's New Student Sponsorhip Program
We are excited to share with you our new Student Sponsorship Program. As you know, we are now 3 campuses strong and the demand for new enrollment has never been higher. We had over 1,000 men and women show up last spring to take our entrance exams. Currently, we have 450 students enrolled for Fall '10 (Liberia– 100, Uganda–125, Malawi– 225). As you also may know, our students cannot afford the true tuition cost, so ABC has to subsidize anywhere from 50 to 70 percent of each student's tuition. The funds we raise directly affects how many new students we can accept each year. That is where the new Student Sponsorship Program comes in.The program is simple. We have three tiers: $39/month, $78/month, and $167/month; with commitments from 1 year to 4 years. We are trying to raise $2,000 per student, which makes their portion of tuition $800 or $300, depending on which campus they attend. Our goal is to grow this program and eventually have sponsors across the country participating and allowing us to not only help fund our current students, but enable us to keep up with the high demand for new incoming students. The idea is to lessen the number of qualified men and women we have to turn away each year because of lack of funding. Our Alumni are truly impacting Africa for the Lord, and the more students we can give the chance to enroll at ABC, the more graduates we will have to help make a difference.
The program is up and running as we speak, and we already have our first 15 sponsors. We know the program can and will work, but we need to get the word out. This letter is just one of those ways in which we are doing so. Another way we are diligently working on is talking to churches around the country and asking them to partner with us and to allow us to come in for one Sunday to put on what we are calling "ABC Student Sponsorship Sunday." During this special Sunday we will share the ABC story and Student Sponsorship Program goals with the congregation, and will have photos and student bios set up in the lobby or courtyard with our sign up information.
We really need your help to make this program a success. Please take the time to pray about being a part of our Student Sponsorship Program and go to our ABC Sponsorship website to see pictures and bios of our students. If you choose to become a sponsor go to www.abcsponsorship. org, register and pick your student. Thank you for all your prayers and support. If you have any questions regarding this program, please contact Corey Conkright, our West Coast Director of Development, at corey@abcsponsorship.org or 602–694–7605.
