What drives me to study is the hunger for learning. I know that someday God would bring me back to the class room to train future pastors and Christian workers. (Philippine Grad)
[ABTS professors are] the life models through which our Lord continues to move, convict and shape my life. (Hong Kong Grad)
The more I have studied with the program, the more confident and committed I have become in the area of using the Bible as a key tool in my ministry. (Student in Thailand)
ABTS exists as a ministry of local churches and our partnership agencies, the Association of Baptists for World Evangelism (ABWE) and Cornerstone University (CU). As a ministry, we endeavor to make graduate-level theological education affordable to students in SE Asia who might otherwise not be able to afford it. Thus, tuition rates are scaled to each country's economy, and do not cover the costs of the education students receive. For this reason, all of our faculty and staff positions are filled by duly qualified individuals who raise their own support and in turn help to support ABTS by means of work funds. Other gifts from interested people help sustain the yearly operating budget.
There are many opportunuties available to you if you would be interested in joining with ABTS in developing Church leadership throughout this vital region of the Lord's Harvest Field. Please take a few moments and explore the links from this page to see how you might be able to engage with us in the task of advancing the Kingdom of God.
