This fall we welcomed alumni Charlie and Bo Frink into our missionary staff. Mr. Frink serves as Director of Church Relations. Learn more about the Frinks here: https://abc.edu/about-abc/ABF/frink,cb.php

Mr. Frink shares, "As a student at ABC I received a Bible education that I used for 33 years as a church planter in New Zealand. At ABC I was also taught that God's instrument in this dispensation is the local church. I have carried that conviction ever since, thus serving as a church-planter.

"When we returned to the States, we sensed the Lord's leading us to a ministry that helps local churches, and He opened the door for us to be on staff at ABC. I am enjoying my position as Director of Church Relations, because I am in contact with church leaders, encouraging them to send their young people to ABC, but also listening to them about how ABC can more effectively be a help and encouragement to their ministries."

Itineraries are being scheduled for January–April for these student ministry teams:

▪️ Salt & Light drama team presenting "Who's Watching"
▪️ The King's Characters puppet team presenting "Treasure Hunt"

Especially if you are within a 1-hour drive of Beckley, request to have them in your church or school by emailing abc@abc.edu.

It's National Redhead Day and we're sure glad God brought us a bunch this fall. #nationalredheadday

Another great season of Warrior basketball begins this evening! Watch online: abc.edu/live

Going into Tuesday’s home basketball game, Jonathan Brooks had scored 993 career points for the ABC Warriors. The Nitro High (WV) graduate wasted no time in making it an even 1,000. Brooks drained a jump shot and a three for his team’s first five points. Though his next attempt at a three-pointer was blocked, he recovered the ball without missing a beat and sank a 12-foot jumper. Pause the game for some confetti and the presentation of a commemorative basketball, and then Brooks got right back to work. Why stop at a grand? The guard went on to tally 21 points on the night, bringing his career average to 16.8 per game. And the season has just begun.

Jonathan Brooks is a senior, double majoring in Bible/Theology and Pastoral ministry. He is pictured with head coach Michael Green and former coach Tim Barton.

It's hard to tell how students feel about a week off classes. 🤔

Happy Thanksgiving from ABC! Here's one of many Scriptures reminding us to be thankful for God's perfect character. He is completely, marvelously GOOD.

For students and staff, these verses sound very familiar: we've been memorizing Psalm 34 to accompany the year's theme, "Servants who fear the Lord."

Back to the books for Zach and the rest of our students, after a week off for Thanksgiving. Only 11 class days left before final exams! Pray for stamina, health, and focus.
