… raising up people who want to overcome the challenges of life and

faith and to seize the opportunity to be transformed by Christ and be equipped to seek and save the lost (Luke 19:10).

The AFCOE program enables you to make an eternal difference for the kingdom of God as a professional Bible worker, health missionary, literature evangelist — or whatever else God has called you to be!

AFCOE has expertly distilled 45 years of Amazing Facts’ evangelistic experience into dynamic, Spirit-led classes. While training at AFCOE, you’ll learn how to speak persuasively in public settings and lead small groups. You’ll gain the confidence to talk with new people and make positive, life-changing Christian conversation with anyone. Even better, you’ll make friends with like-minded people of faith from around the world, all while gaining an in-depth knowledge of the Bible that will help you be all that God wants you to be.

Jesus is coming soon! There is no better time to learn God’s Word and how to share it with others than now!

Want to be a soul-winner? Need revival in your life? AFCOE is about helping you take this opportunity to be transformed and equipping you to become all that God intends you to be — and to go impact your world.

Under the evangelistic banner of Amazing Facts, AFCOE will inspire and prepare you to join in the work of rescuing souls trapped in sin and darkness. While here, you’ll learn to REAP — reaching people just as Christ did!

Matthew 9:35 includes all the elements of REAP …

Restoration (ministry of healing)

Education (ministry of teaching)

Adoration (ministry in worship)

Proclamation (ministry of preaching)

The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few!

God is calling you to REAP!

“Representations passed before me of a great reformatory movement among God’s people. Many were praising God. The sick were healed, and other miracles were wrought. A spirit of intercession was seen, even as was manifested before the great Day of Pentecost. Hundreds and thousands were seen visiting families and opening before them the word of God. Hearts were convicted by the power of the Holy Spirit, and a spirit of genuine conversion was manifest” (Ellen G. White, Testimonies, Vol. 9, p.126).

WHY AFCOE?We desire to train His messengers using His methods and message, so they can complete His mission …

His Mission — to seek and save the lost — Luke 19:10

His Method — to teach, preach, and heal — Matthew 4:23

His Message — in all its fullness – Revelation 1 (Scripture, salvation, second coming, Sabbath... etc.)

As a result of such training, Christ’s disciples reached the world in one generation!

“AFCOE was really the best decision that I’ve ever made. I praise the Lord for helping me to step out in faith and go. Though I left behind a very successful career, I feel more fulfilled now than ever before in my life. It’s such a tremendous blessing to work to help bring souls to Jesus rather than just for a paycheck. I have never regretted my decision!” —Shemeka, AFCOE Graduate
