FROM MANY NATIONS TO MANY NATIONS
January through March we taught at our seminary in northern Philippines. This school serves Asia Pacific and Northern Asia, and also attracts students from other countries. We have had students from Korea, Taiwan, Thailand, Myanmar, Philippines, Japan, Malaysia, Samoa, Fiji, Pakistan, Czech Republic, some restricted countries, and the United States! Most of the students left campus immediately after graduation to begin their ministries in many countries. The challenge of the commencement message was to go with Jesus “to the other side” (Mk 4:35), where great needs, great evangelization, and great miracles await.
Here we are with two of our four classes:
Evelyn spoke to the APTS staff, and we participated in a Fun Run to raise money for a youth camp.
We preached in mountain churches, including one where we had to cross a swinging foot bridge. The Church is in distance on left. They grow crops to help support pastor and church.
Two graduates are second generation students – their parents were our students some years ago!
Rebecca and father Zia from Pakistan
William with parents Fred and Monica from Philippines
Students from Thailand, Czech Republic and Ghana
Former students also have heavy responsibilities: Kei in Japan works with the Distance Learning Program for Central Bible College; several former students are APTS Board members or APTS faculty!
Prayer and Praise
- Praise God for His leading as important decisions are made which affect the future of the seminary.
- Praise God for the graduates who are returning to their countries and strategic ministries.
