Every course which I took helped me grow wonderfully - which caused a direct effect on my ministry. (Myanmar, '05 Grad)



My primary purpose for entering the program was to get a degree, but as I started taking the courses, discussing and interacting with other students and our professors, I found myself a person of little learning. (Philippines, '05 Grad)



As far as acquiring Bible knowledge, improving ministry effectiveness and pursuing personal spiritual growth are concerned, I consider this program very worthy of recommendation to others. (Hong Kong Grad)
