Fountain Baptist Church (FBC) currently provides financial support to the following African missions:

Carroll Shaw Memorial Center, an alcohol and drug regeneration program
Baptist Convention College, a theological seminary

PELONOMI CHILDREN's HOME COMMUNITY PROJECT

The Pelonomi Children's Home, located in Jouberton, is headed by Pastor Jeremiah Nyembe. This home has become a lifeline for orphaned children who have lost their parents to HIV/AIDS, violence or were simply abandoned by their family. The children are staying in a residential home where up to 75 kids can be living at one time. Unfortunately, this home only has 4 bedrooms with many children sharing beds and sleeping on the floor. Reverend Nyembe has several staff members who ensure the children are safe and receive education while also contacting local families about adopting these children.

Reverend Nyembe has also started the Klerksdorp Girls High School which is located in downtown Jouberton. The high school consists of grades 9-12. There are eight teachers (math, English, Outcome Based Education, etc.) who provide instruction for girls who come from troubled homes or circumstances that require the care and counseling only available from this Christian High School.



CARROLL SHAW MEMORIAL CENTER

The Carroll Shaw Memorial Center (CSMC) is a multi-faceted Alcohol and Drug Regeneration Program. It was created out of a need to provide Christian therapy to those addicted and in need of rehabilitation. It is located in Zuurebekom, South Africa.

While the aforementioned program remains a main focus of Carroll Shaw, the program has expanded to incorporate several other critical services to its service community. Additional programs are presently being offered in Skills Training, Educare, HIV/AIDS Day Care, and Home Based Care.

BAPTIST CONVENTION COLLEGE

This is a seminary college that provides a theological education and equip the people of God for ministry.

The college's vision is to educate Pastors and Lay people in the local Churches and Communities to fulfill the mission to the BCSA and ultimately fulfill the great commission of our Lord Jesus Christ.



Baptist Convention College was established in 1996 at the BCSA House, 60 High Street, Berea. It started with seven students, one full time lecturer/principal in the persons of Reverend Paul Msiza, the current General Secretary of the Baptist Convention. There were three part time lecturers, two of which were visiting international lecturers, in the persons of Dr. Emma Justin (USA) and Dr. Richard Kidd (UK). There was also Reverend S. Modise who worked as an Administrator. There was only one class and less than twenty books on the shelf at the library. In 1996, BCC started a Part Time Program.

BCC moved to Orlando in Soweto in 1997. From 1996 to date, BCC has had a turnover of 16 lecturers both National Part/Full time and International Part/Full time Missionaries. To date, BBC has had many students who have studied or are still studying part/full time and has graduate students with a Diploma in Theology and a Diploma in Ministry.
