Gifts from the Heart

Generous Gift Received

This past spring, after many months of discussing various needs for our students, student-athletes, and our Federation as a whole with rising enrollments, FVL was given a tremendous gift to help support facility needs on our campus—the funding to construct a Sports Center on the north side of campus. 

The donors have shared two questions on which they meditated before offering this gift: (1) “Will this help the mission of the school by encouraging or attracting others to come to FVL?” and (2) “Will this help students and athletes in times of harsh winters and spring?” The values that motivated this donor couple were clear—mission and students. 

This gift to FVL is and will be a lasting legacy. Countless students will be impacted through PE classes, high school athletics, and youth programs for grade school children. In addition, we anticipate having winter golf leagues for adults, alumni events and reunions, and much more to help encourage and engage the entire FVL Family. 

As you reflect on the gifts you receive this Christmas season and in the weeks, months, and years ahead, never forget the greatest gift given to us all…the gift of a Savior. Let God’s perfect solution to humankind’s fallen state stay on the forefront of your mind. Like our donors, who are funding this special gift of a Sports Center, seek ways to grow God’s Kingdom with your own gifts, whatever they may be. May the Lord bless this gift to the mission and vision of FVL as it impacts the physical and spiritual lives of students and adults for decades to come.
