The Choice


As a teenager, Austen heard a pastor say, “God has chosen some for salvation, but He has chosen others for damnation!” Austen felt sure that God had destined him to be lost. After high school, he married and worked in his parents’ restaurant. He later introduced his wife to recreational drugs, and their lives spiraled downward. But after discovering Amazing Facts on the History Channel, he thought, “I want to explore this path with God.” It led him to give his life to Christ. Will you bring life-changing truth to even more people like Austen? Thank you for your loving support, which leads to lives of freedom!

I went to AFCOE. I had asked God what I could do to give my life more meaning. He said "Go to AFCOE." So I did. What an amazing experience it was. Now I write articles, give Bible studies and occasionally get called on to preach. I love the presence of God in my life. It gives it a completely different meaning.
