During the school year, more than 2,800 students between the
ages of three and 17 fill the halls of Faith Academy in Delhi,
India. More than 90 percent of these students are raised in Hindu
families. A large portion of them comes from single parent homes,
and some have suffered physical abuse.
REACHING THE
HURT
Elizabeth became vice
principal at Faith Academy
after attending Haggai
Institute in 2012. Since
then, she’s been busy
implementing changes,
fostering teamwork, and
showing each student and
faculty member God’s love.
“I am in a place where I
know God is using me in
reaching people who have
been hurt in life,” she says.
“Haggai Institute helped me
put my life in perspective
and take bold steps toward
adhering to the Lord’s call in
a completely new way.”
WHEN GOOD MAY
NOT BE GOOD
ENOUGH
Established in 1964 by five
couples seeking to teach
children about Jesus Christ,
the school started with 12
students and six teachers.
Though it had grown
substantially over the years
and eventually employed
more than 130 teachers,
there was a lot of room for
improvement.
When Elizabeth came on
board, she told her team, “I
have come here to work and
take the school to a higher
level. That is my vision and
my mission for choosing
Faith Academy.”
She quickly put her words
into action. Four months
after starting, she landed
in the United States with
26 students and two
teachers, as part of a NASA
educational program. She
created a school calendar
complete with Bible
verses, began a newsletter,
introduced graduation
ceremonies, and much
more.
“Haggai Institute
helped me put
my life in
perspective and
take bold steps
toward adhering
to the Lord’s call
in a completely
new way.”
