About Us
FBCTI MISSION STATEMENT:
A mission is a task that someone is sent to do or accomplish. There is a duty that goes with the mission and there is a calling that connects the duty with the task. It is the mission of FBCTI to help the students discover the task that they are called to accomplish and train them how to connect the task and the duty. Our mission is to give them a platform through the training we will provide for them to accomplish their own mission successfully. FBCTI’s greatest mission is to see the captives set free!
FBCTI GOAL:
Our main goal is to honor God first and foremost. We are about teaching and training biblical dynamics and how to use them to help yourself and others. We do not teach humanistic or new age philosophies, we are a bible based institute and use the word of God and His principals to be our ultimate healer. The word of God is the life giving manual on how we are suppose to not only live our lives but how we are to treat others. His word says His people parish for lack of knowledge and our goal is to help as many as we can to not parish but flourish day in and day out with the ultimate knowledge.
FBCTI VISION:
We all live in a time space continuum. In other words, we will be a day older when we wake up in the morning. We are locked into time and the only way to move forward is to have a vision to where we are headed. Otherwise, we would be locked into time and live life backwards in our memory. We must have a place where we are headed. We at FBCTI have one vision and that is to train up disciples who have a call to see the broken and hurting made whole by the relentless love of Jesus Christ. Let us live in our vision not our memory.

Meet Holly: A Legacy of Faith, Vision, and Compassion
CEO
---
In 2019, Holly answered a call that would change the course of her life and legacy. Returning from Central America to care for her ailing father, Dr. Haynes, she found him alone and in need of urgent help. In that moment, Holly’s unwavering faith in Jesus guided her steps as she lovingly cared for her father through what doctors said would be his final months.
But God had a different plan. Instead of preparing for goodbye, Holly witnessed a miracle as her father’s health was restored beyond all expectations. When she asked him what he wanted to do with his newfound time, his answer was clear: his life’s work in ministry and education could not be left to fade away. Holly’s vision and determination sparked a new chapter—transforming her father’s teachings into a digital school, accessible to students around the world.
Drawing on her deep faith, her calling as an ordained minister, and her extensive experience as an international speaker, Christian counselor, and crisis chaplain, Holly worked side by side with her father to bring his courses to life online. Today, as CEO of the faith-based training school, Holly has helped train over 26,000 students worldwide, ensuring that her father’s legacy continues to inspire and equip generations to come.
Holly’s journey is marked by excellence and innovation. A celebrated home builder and international designer, she has founded successful real estate companies and design firms in Central America and Mexico, and launched her own sustainable furniture line, The Blue Water Collection. Her work has been featured in Southern Living and International Living magazines, recognizing her as a top female builder and visionary developer.
Her heart for children and faith shines through her creative endeavors, including “Bubble Blessings,” a beloved, faith-based YouTube channel that introduces children to the wonders of underwater life and God’s love through engaging stories and characters.
Above all, Holly is a devoted wife, mother of five, and grandmother, with a family committed to serving the Lord. She considers it a profound blessing to carry forward her father’s ministry and to use her God-given talents to make a difference in the world.
Holly’s story is one of hope, resilience, and unwavering faith—a testimony to what God can do through a willing heart and a life surrendered to His purpose.
