After I saw Jesus Christ in a new light and accepted Him as my Lord and Savior in the middle of a rave dance party, God called me to be a full-time soul winner. For several years I tried to ignore the call, but it would not go away! To reach the point of prosecuting gangland murderers had required a lot of work and dedication, and I was not anxious to give up all that I had achieved.
However, in 2007 God was urging me to defend His law instead of man’s law and to set captives free in Christ rather than locking them up for life. So I agreed to put down the sword of the state and pick up the sword of the Spirit.
I knew that to be an effective soul winner, I would need training from successful and experienced soul winners. Here were my criteria for a Bible training school:- Sound theological instruction, including from the books of Daniel and Revelation
- Practical training in giving Bible studies and public evangelism
- A program long enough to train me—but not so long as to require years of my time
- Good job placement.
AFCOE has met all these criteria and more! I learned how to write and give Bible studies, especially on end-time prophecies, and to make effective appeals for people to commit to Christ and His present truth. As an added bonus, I loved the Christian fellowship of gifted and caring teachers and students.
I am now working full time as an Amazing Facts evangelist, sharing the good news of the three angels’ messages of Revelation 14. I could not be happier as so many souls have consecrated their lives to Christ!
One of the classes I took at AFCOE was how to organize and manage a Bible conference for lay people. After the class was over, I was overwhelmed and remember thinking, “Wow! It’s so much work. I could never be involved with something like that!” But again, God had other plans. My friend Calvin Kim invited me to be the president of ARME Bible Camp, which hosts Bible conferences designed to make the Bible come alive and to lead people to a deeper experience with God through Bible study and united prayer.
I am so thankful for the training I received at AFCOE to share God’s end-time message at Amazing Facts prophecy seminars and to revive God’s people at ARME Bible Camps!

Hi Neftali, I've also gone through times in my life when I don't know what God wants me to do with my life - but I've noticed that while I'm struggling with this question He always blesses whatever I have put my hands on to do for His glory at that time. I trust in these words "For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure." Php 2:13. I'm just beginning to learn how to claim God's promises in my prayer life, I pray that this promise will become real in your own life as He makes you able to make the hard decisions in your life and follow through into the right path. Meanwhile, bravo! for taking the big step forward in planning to join the upcoming AFCOE training. From now on forward, may your life become a by-word for God's amazing grace. And, thanks Marcelo for your inspiring story. As the saying goes, The one who beats the drum never knows how far the sound will go. May your testimony continue to be an inspiration to many more people. May God bless you all. Hebewa

Hello Neftali and Friends, Sometimes we ask ourselves why we are still alive in this world and what purpose do we have to walk around grounds that are not ours. I myself was lost for 17 years. Drugs, alcohol, and the love of money got me in dark places. There are times, I wish I was dead and maybe never woke again. But as I put things together, I came to realized that God loves me truly and He will never let me go to sleep not having a chance to change my ways. He does not want me to be one of the souls who will be left and vanish on that fire with the devil and his angels. God has purpose for me and to each and everyone of us. Right now, if this is God's will I would love to work for Him and dedicate my life to Him and Him alone. I am currently taking online classes for Accounting degree. But I am losing interest because I would like to study the Bible as much as I could instead. Also, I would love to start a jail ministry but do not know where to start. I wish our church has some outreach but I guess this is why God put me here so that I can help in His work. Please if anyone has any suggestions, feel free to email me @ jhay1325@yahoo.com Also, I will pray for all of us so that God will work in our lives and help us pursue in our Godly dreams....

Please contact me for a revival in Romania thought prey,and a reformlifestile,in all areas of the christian life.God inspired me to have many prophets schools ,very fast and cheap.Many want to live,prey,work,with the godly brothers ,and because they also want to leave the cities and learn the country lifestyle,the best way to meets all is in a school for now and for the future a mission place.Many are ready to sell all they have,to be volunteers for the school building,and many want to donate lands,homes,money.If not now, when?The crisis is coming soon ,and we are not filed with the Holy Spirit yet.In a school we will have the chance to be trained ,to have a prey lifestyle,to have a real Cristian growth,and to bee filed with the Holy Spirit in the later rain.Time has come to do ,not just to preach,something that can be the best way of training for the later rain - the prophets schools. May God inspire you
