Joy's Bible College

Linda at Beautifully Veiled left a comment about my having a child who has the opportunity to take a prophecy class and one that even wanted to. It got me to thinking about telling about the college Joy attends.

The post title is Joy's Bible College when in fact it is not Joy's college but the college she attends.
Now about the college.

The name of the Bible College is Apostolic Faith Bible College and it is located in Baxter Springs, Kansas. Its is way in the south east corner of Kansas. It is about 20 minutes or so from Joplin Missouri.

AFBC is a FREE college. The college is supported by Apostolic Faith Churches around the country and individuals, also other churches.

Students who attend the college are able to live in the dorms, FREE, get meals all week long, FREE and only pay a $25.00 per semester book fee. Students are even made meals that are placed in the fridge in the lunch room for weekend meals. The meals are leftovers from the week. Students must abide by a strict dress code and must follow all school rules. Drive in students may also attend FREE. Students are encouraged not to work if at all possible so they can devote time to study. Joy has been kept busy and hardly had time to get homesick.
She had a hard time the first month or so, but was kept busy and that helped keep the homesickness at bay.

She is a good student and so studies quite diligently and thoroughly. She was only 16 when she went to college. If she had been in public school she would only have been in her Junior year. She had enough credits to graduate so it seemed silly to make her continue to take classes in home school that were redundant. One thing we had talked about was doing online college which can count for both college and high school. We ended up sending her to AFBC because we felt she was ready and we wanted her to get such a firm foundation with God that it could never be shaken. I think she is at that point already.

If you or someone you know is interested in attending the Apostolic Faith Bible College go here and look around. If you want more information feel free to email Ron. http://apostolicfaithbiblecollege.com/index.html
