News & Events From Elsewhere
AFCOE Student Looking for Room to Rent: Jack Toke and his wife Amy and their two young sons are missionaries to the Karen people in Thailand. Jack is the director of the only training school focused specifically on reaching the Karen. He is desirous of receiving more training so that he can train others in personal evangelism so he is coming to AFCOE this fall. Because they are self-supported missionaries, they don't have the finances to make this happen. AFCOE is donating Jack's educational fees and friends in Australia are providing Jack and his family funds to fly here; however, Jack and Amy are still trying to find a place for their family while they are here for 4 months of training. If anyone has a mother-in-law apartment (or something similar) that they can rent for a small fee please contact Chuck Holtry at Amazing Facts (540-661-2080).
