who also served with distinction. I personally feel like there could not be a more exciting<br />

time to be a part of the Falcon Children’s Home Board. God is blessing us financially,<br />

numerically, and spiritually.<br />

God is positioning us to forge new trails and ministries that Falcon Children’s Home has<br />

never done before and therefore we are going to reach more children than ever before.<br />

Our Mothers and Babies Program is a perfect example as we have gone from one mother<br />

and two children to six mothers and eight children. I was privileged to speak at the<br />

Fayetteville Area Hospitality Association Meeting recently and after sharing this<br />

program they decided to make our program their charity of choice for the next five years!<br />

They also presented me with a check for $5,000 that day. This epitomizes what is<br />

happening at Falcon Children’s Home. There was a need – we established a program to<br />

meet that need – and now that program is being blessed numerically, financially and<br />

spiritually. Because of this program, a former homeless teen mother gave her heart and<br />

life to Jesus Christ the other night in our revival service.<br />

God is up to something at Falcon Children’s Home!<br />

REPORT FROM SOUTHWESTERN CHRISTIAN UNIVERSITY<br />

The following report was submitted by Dr. Ed Huckeby, President of SCU.<br />

The future at Southwestern Christian University presents many challenges…and many<br />

opportunities. I am confident that the administration, faculty, staff, and students of SCU<br />

are eager to move forward…honoring the past but not clinging to it…unsure of the<br />

future, but not afraid of it. Since my arrival at the campus on January 4, 2010,<br />

momentum has continued to build. I have experienced significant enthusiasm and truly<br />

supportive attitudes. It has been a busy and exciting few months, and I am confident<br />

that the pace will continue at a “feverish pitch.” However, the work has just begun and<br />

we are excited as we look to the future to see “the vision” come to fruition.<br />

My official inauguration as the eleventh president of Southwestern Christian University<br />

was held on May 7, 2010. I am honored to follow in the footsteps of ten distinguished<br />

presidents and 64 years of rich heritage. I commit to lead Southwestern forward to<br />

become a Christian liberal-arts university focused on “excellence,” affectionately clinging<br />

to the firm cornerstone of the denominational roots on which it was built, but boldly<br />

exploring expansive horizons, opening the doors of the institution to a multitude of new<br />

students from a variety of backgrounds and cultures.<br />

On May 8, 2010, SCU conducted its sixtieth commencement convocation. 21 students<br />

graduated with Master of Ministry degrees, 39 students graduated with Bachelors<br />

degrees, and 3 students graduated with Associate of Arts degrees. The total student<br />

enrollment for the Fall 2009 semester was 337 students. The Admissions department<br />

projects that this number will increase significantly for the upcoming Fall 2010 semester.<br />

Increased enrollment is only one of the many elements bringing excitement and<br />

enthusiasm to the SCU campus.<br />
