Joel & Heather Cook
Joel and Heather joined ABF in 2022 as missionaries sent from First Baptist Church in Ticonderoga, NY. They are expecting their first child in the spring of 2023 and are overjoyed with this blessing that God has given them. As alumni of ABC, Joel and Heather are excited that God has called them back to serve in a ministry that has deeply impacted their lives. When it comes to serving the local church, they state "We have a passion for church revitalization! To see the church of the U.S. strengthened, unified, and excelling."
