AFCOE Online
An Evangelism Explosion!
April 2018
An Amazing Fact: Online learning in the United
States has grown by nearly 900 percent since the
turn of the millennium. And by next year, half
of all college students will be enrolled in at least
one online course. But today, India, China, and
Malaysia are the nations where e-learning is being
adopted at the fastest rate.
Dear friend,
Manuel was devastated. While his fiancé, Sashka, was
attending the Amazing Facts Center of Evangelism (AFCOE), she suddenly broke off their
engagement. Stay with me; this love story has a happy and miraculous ending!
It’s been 50 years since Joe Crews began taking young evangelists under his wing to
teach them the art and science of soul winning. Over time, that informal training became
more deliberate and refined—until, 17 years ago, we launched AFCOE.
Ever since, because of your faithful gifts of support, thousands of every age and
background around the globe have received Spirit-filled training to win souls. Today, there
are thousands more missionaries, Bible workers, pastors, and evangelists globally because
of AFCOE. And as a direct result of your support for this vital training program, tens of
thousands are being reached for Christ each year.
Yet it’s still not enough—as 70 million new souls are added to the world’s population
each year. We need to build a surging army of evangelists to reach the globe with the real
good news, which is why what I’m about to share with you is such inspiring news!
But first, let me tell you more about the miracle of Manuel and Sashka …
A Double Life
Sashka was born in the former Yugoslavia. When she was just three years old, her
mother and two older brothers joined a Sabbath-keeping church. She regularly attended
church with them and was eventually baptized as a youth.
However, worldly friends began to exert a strong influence over her during high school.
She began to smoke, drink, and go to drug-fueled parties. She explains, “The whole time I
kept attending church, keeping my sins secret.” But God knew that she was living a double
life.
(over, please)
