This agreement allows FSC to get support from both partners in terms of funding and donated properties for production equipments, a media laboratory, media professional advice and supervision, and yearly operational budget for the time frame that was greed upon.

Praise the Lord for the vision and support that are coming into place especially this Christmas time.  They are precious gifts for Christian media-minded students who would use the tools to reach out in the information society.
