Bro. Alan Fackler-- Do you know him?
This is a shot in the dark but there was a brother I met at General Conference I think in 1998 when it was held in Greensboro, NC. His name is Alan Fackler. I don't know where he was from, but I know where he was going. He was appointed as a Missionary to Cameroon the afternoon we met.
He has been on my mind real heavy and I know it was a long time ago. Still, if anyone knows him will you let him know that this guy is looking to reconnect with him.
You can PM me with info.
Thank you.

Might have been from Ok, Mo, or Ne-- but I am just unsure.

I met him around the same time, but have no idea what he's doing these days.

Well atleast I am fairly confident now that I do exactly remember his name!
I hope there is someone out there who sees this thread that knows him or knows of him.

How did you meet him?
Did you get a chance to meet his wife and kids?

Re: Bro. Alan Fackler-- Do you know him?
About how old was this guy in 1998 when you met him? I found a handful of Alan Feckler's on white pages but of course don't know which one might be him. I had no luck with Google so wondered if he had died but also couldn't find a obituary that looked like it would be him.
Usually preachers have something on Google where you can find them.

I was 21.
He was married with young children. I am thinking he was in his early to mid 30's. However, his wife looked to be not as healthy as him and maybe even a few years older than him.
When I met her, she didn't seem so enthused to meet me but I am sure that whatever was going on in the moment when I met her had absolutely nothing to do with me.
I sure would like to know how he is doing today.
Surely, somebody knows about him, his whereabouts, etc.

Re: Bro. Alan Fackler-- Do you know him?
His last mention is 2003 directory with a general license and a Louisiana address.
When you met him he was locally licensed and had been for years.
It is Allan C. Fackler. If he is yet in LA, perhaps this is him

So if he is still alive and in ministry he is no longer UPC.

The only other Facklers I have ever heard of in apostolic circles live in McMinnville OR. I see Ben on FB but might not be much recent activity. They all attend a con/control church......good luck.
