I learned very much from the examples and experiences of the lecturers -- and it clarified my theological thinking and my commitment to Christ's mission. (Indonesian Graduate '05)



The ABTS program has been a perfect fit for our ministry in Korea. By taking only 1-2 courses per year, it enables us to keep fresh and growing while doing ministry. ('05 Grad)



I appreciate this degree programme for the excellent teaching of our professors, gaining immeasurable value in spiritual knowledge, and saving our time and money since we don't have to go abroad for studies. (Myanmar, '05 Grad)

 

Australia (still pending in 2009)

Australia is changing.  Gone are the days of the White Australia Policy -- now we are one of the most migrant-rich countries in the world.  In just one suburb of Melbourne over 100 languages are spoken!

The new social fabric of Australia presents both opportunities and challenges for the Christian worker.

  • In our neighbourhoods -- how do we evangelise people who know little or nothing about Christ and Christianity?  How do we answer the pervasiveness of post-modernity and the growth of non-Christian religions?
  • In our churches -- how do we meet the needs of a culturally-diverse congregation?  How do we contextualise the gospel message so it is understood?
  • In our mission -- how do we foster a movement in domestic church planting and worldwide evangelism?  How do we utilise the web of relationships between Australia, Asia and the Middle East?
  • It is time to retool.  Just like a surgeon keeping up with new technologies, pastors and Christian workers must continually strengthen their message and sharpen their methodologies.  We all know this -- but where can we find the quality, cost-effective training we need?

ABTS in Australia! At last, Bible-believing, pre-millennial, scholarly theological education is available in our own country. You won't find a stronger, more balanced programme: Australian accessibility; American accreditation; Asian sensitivity.

Why not see how ABTS can help make you a more effective servant of Christ?
