abts home :: about :: faculty & administration


The program brought a renewed exuberance and passion to me and the ministry where God has called me. (Philippines, '05 Grad)



Each and every course I have taken with ABTS impacted me differently, with its teaching being so well planned, so comprehensive, so fruitful, so enlightening, so challenging, so enriching . . . (Hong Kong, Grad)



I did not just learn about the knowledge but the life examples of the professors and everyone in ABTS. Your examples challenged us to go to the mission field by faith. (Hong Kong Student)
