Subject: Florida Bible College Alumni BE PROACTIVE!

I am very dissapointed with the majority of our alumni from Florida Bible College. It is now time that we the Florida Bible College Alumni STOP being apathetic about the future of our school, Florida Bible College. Either we the Florida Bible College Alumni believe in our school and that "The Word Of God Will NEVER Leave The Halls of Florida Bible College", or we do not. Our school was not created to just be a place where people can re-connect and "remember when". Do we honestly believe that reconnecting is the main mission of Florida Bible College? How heartless and selfish can we be! We have many alumni out there serving God who have been blessed from being saved by the witness of, and who benefited from the wonderful training that they received from Florida Bible College. Our Alumni have gone on to have best selling books, serve in some of America's top ministries , and to own many sucsessful businesses. We have alumni today who are so blessed that they live in half a million dollar homes! Now it is time that we give back to our school. This IS our duty!We have no choice but to believe God for great things for Florida Bible College!We need to stop being selfish , we need to act, we need to sacrifice, we need to give, we need to pray, and we need to be devoted to our school! To be a good alumni of Florida Bible College we must NOW be proactive! We must get involved. Florida Bible College is GODS [YHVH] school . Too many people like Dr. Mark G. Cambron and so many others have sacrificed too much for us to just to sit by and do nothing while the devil casts his well planned assults against our school. Did we have leaders who sinned? Yes! Every school does. Now get over it, forgive and get back to God's work!

Florida Bible College Alumni it is time that we STAND UNITED TOGETHER AGAINST Pastor Steve Bils, Florida Bible Church and all those who do not believe in the mission of Florida Bible College. We the Alumni of Florida Bible College can not and must not remain worthless, we must be proactive to secure a better future for Florida Bible College. We the Florida Bible College Alumni sat by and did NOTHING while Florida Bible Church acted as poor stewards of our school. Florida Bible Church leaders and elders state that they did nothing wrong concerning how they acted when they were given the honor of being good stewards of Florida Bible College. Well let me tell you my fellow alumni that Florida Bible Church did not act as good stewards of Florida Bible College, that they were selfish, greedy, lazy, apathetic, uncaring, and that they only did what they saw as best and convienient for themselves! They did not sell the Kisimmee Campus for what they would have sold it if it had been "their" asset to sell. The Kissimme Campus was flipped for twice what they sold if for within one week of its sale!Florida Bible Church refuses to show Florida Bible College Alumni and those involved in the official re-start of Florida Bible College the financial records that they have for Florida Bible College!Florida Bible Church refuses to give a full accounting showing just where all of Florida Bible College's assets went to, but Florida Bible Church staffer Rev. Bob Brady does admit that Florida Bible Church did take Florida Bible College assests and use them for Florida Bible Church and "its" Christian School. Florida Bible Church claims that Florida Bible College still owes them $200,000.00, even to this day, but the #'s do not add up. Current Florida Bible Church Pastor Pete Tokars said "I think that the Kissimmee campus was sold for $900,000.00 " But in a letter that Bob Brady sent to Florida Bible College Alumni , by Brady's own figures Brady listed the College as being under $500,000.00 in total debt. The Kissimmee, FL FBC campus' land alone was and is worth today over $2,000,000.00. Yet Pastor Tokars claims that Florida Bible Church sold Florida Bible College's Kissimmee Campus, with its prime location at the corner of 17/92 and Poinciana Blvd a very desired location for future development , for well less than half of what its land alone was/is worth!That my friends was poor stewardship. Their #'s do not add up. FBC was according to Brady's own #'s Less than half a mill in debt (note Bob Brady claims that "all FBC debts , salaries , etc. were paid" , yet former FBC President Chad Woodburn claims that he was never paid, and that the school still owes him aprox. $5,500.00)and Florida Bible Church according to Pastor Tokars received $900,000.00 from the sale of the Kissimmee campus [that had land that was worth aprox 2.5 mill] (note that Florida Bible College paid 4.3 mill for the campus, and it was valued at 3.8 mill in 1995)Hmm folks ...9 minus 5 is... - $200,000.00 ???I don't think so.
Also, FBC had many other assets besides just its Kissimmee campus. Vehicles, AV equipment, desks, a bookstore (valued at over $100,000) PA equipment, kitchen equipment, along with its library (a member of the FBC feasibility committee himself estimated the value of Florida Bible Colleges' library to be $500,000.00)[more than the amt. of FBC's debts by itself, but some value FBC's library as wort less than half a mill] So where did Florida Bible College's library go? According to Rev. Bob Brady it went either "in the trash, to Florida Bible Church's Christin School, or to Southeastern Bible College {Where interestingly Steve Bils Graduated from with his M.A. in Counseling)

As for Pastor Steve Bils for our so called "current" Florida Bible College Alumni Association President IT IS TIME THAT THE FLORIDA BIBLE COLLEGE ALUMNI RISE UP IN OPPOSITION TO PASTOR STEVE BILS! Steve Bils is no friend of Florida Bible College! Steve Bils sat by and did NOTHING in 1996 when HE KNEW that Florida Bible Church had plans to close Florida Bible College. Way back in 1996 liberal Pastor Steve Bils was the acting Alumni President of Florida Bible College. Back in 1996 Pastor Steve Bils decided that unless he was given money to print and send out Florida Bible College Alumni association Newsletters, that he was NOT going to send out a newsletter to the FBC Alumni to inform them that Florida Bible College WAS CLOSING!
This from a pastor who was so well off at this time he even owned his own airplane! Pastor Steve Bils has not sent out a FBCAA Newsletter since around 1995. Pastor Steve Bils refuses to hold Florida Bible College Alumni Association elections{He even blames ME as the reason he is unable to hold them claiming "nobody is willing to count the votes because of you Michael" {how absurd}, along with the fact that Florida Bible College no longer holds an annual missions conf. and he claims that the FBCAA bilaws only allow an elecion to be held at one {as if the rule can not ever be changed}], and he continues to serve as what he misleadingly calls himself the "current" Alumni Association President of Florida Bible College.He lists himself as the "current" FBCAA President at www.floridabiblecollege.com, a website that refuses to announce or support the official re-start of Florida Bible college. Bils also censors me from the FBCAA message board, even though I am an FBC alumni in good standing.

Steve Bils does not believe that Florida Bible College should exist.

Steve Bils believes that God closed FBC, and that it is not God's will to re-open FBC, and he also believes that it is not God's will to open a new school in the tradition of FBC. Steve Bils does not believe that Florida Bible College should be re-started.Steve Bils is a member of a liberal denomination(The American Baptist Church USA) that is so liberal that it has member churches with homosexual, transgender and lesbiam ministers. The American Baptist Church refuses to disipline any of its member churches who ordain homosexuals of who have homosexual ministers, and it refuses to dismiss its member churches who are led by homosexual ministers. Steve Bils denomination ordains women ministers, and many say that Bils own wife Trudy Bils has stated that she is called to preach.

The Florida Bible College Alumni sat by and did nothing when Florida Bible Church closed Florida Bible College, sold the Florida Bible College Kissimmee, FL campus for 1/3rd of what its land alone was worth!

It is now time for the Florida Bible College Alumni to STAND UP, BE HEARD and to be proactive.
