David and Debby Thomas, missionaries to Rwanda, Africa, with Evangelical Friends Mission for the past 20 years, will speak in chapel tomorrow (Tuesday) as part of the university’s annual Quaker Focus Week.
While in Rwanda the Thomases were involved in many aspects of ministry, including leadership training, national church organization leadership, church planting, translation, starting a small school, starting two businesses, and holistic community development. During their last eight years in Rwanda the Thomases especially focused on Discipling for Development, a form of holistic community development that combines spiritual and physical aspects of transformation.
Tuesday’s message (10:50 a.m., Bauman Auditorium) will focus on bringing transformation by living as children of light. David and Debby will share about their years of being involved in whole-life transformational development in Africa and encourage students to bring transformation into their own society by living as children of light.
In addition to their chapel presentation, the Thomases also will speak in Paul Anderson’s History and Doctrine of Friends class (Wednesday, Nov. 18, 8 a.m., Stevens 101) and Spiritual Formation class (Thursday, Nov. 19, 2:50 p.m., Stevens 209).
David and Debby have four children, two of whom are students at George Fox, and the couple recently moved back to Newberg. David continues to work internationally with EFM, helping new mission fields develop ministries that are transformational and non-dependent. Debby has a PhD in organizational leadership and is presently an adjunct professor at George Fox.
The George Fox community and the public are welcome to attend any of these events.

Once again, the university is hosting a Be the Match Registry drive on campus, giving you the opportunity to possibly save someone’s life.
Join us anytime between 10:30 a.m. and 2 p.m. today (Friday) in the Cap and Gown Room. It’s easy to become a registered donor. It takes just a few minutes to fill out a little paperwork and provide a DNA sample with a quick swab of the cheek.
For thousands of patients with blood cancers like leukemia or lymphoma, the best hope of survival is finding a young, healthy marrow donor. Doctors are searching the Be The Match Registry every day in hopes of finding a donor to save their patients’ lives. Imagine being a patient and being told by your doctor that there is no matched donor available to save your life. You have the opportunity to help change that by joining the Be The Match Registry and becoming part of the cure.
If you are unable to join us for the event and would like to join the Be The Match national registry, please register at this link.
Questions? Contact Shawn Fisher at sfisher13@georgefox.edu. The Be the Match event is being cosponsored by Sigma Zeta Kappa, the Nursing Club and ASC.

The Fitness Center will remain open for normal business hours, but you will need to enter through the hallway entrance located on the field level, toward the end of the building near the tennis courts. There will be security officers who will ask you where you are headed; just let them know that you are going to work out.
Bauman Walkway
The sidewalk located between the football stadium and Bauman will be closed. Please walk around the building and do not move the barricade.
