Archie, Mandy, Emma and Jack Chankin

Archie and Mandy Chankin have had a variety of experiences and influences in their lives that have directed their steps toward work in Burkina Faso, West Africa. Mandy participated in mission trips to Russia during her undergrad work at Harding and Archie was involved in short term work in both Guatemala and Benin. They met at ACU while working on their Master's in Missions and were married in 1999. They also met the team with whom they work while attending ACU. Their biggest earthly blessings are their kids, Emma, born May 11, 2004, and Jack, born January 23, 2006. Archie and Mandy are supported by the Oak Hills Church in San Antonio where Archie grew up. They feel privileged to be part of this team and part of what God is doing to reconcile the world to Himself.
