Supporting Theological Education in East Asia

Supporting Theological Education in East Asia
2024 PROJECT UPDATE

Thank you for your generous support of theological education in East Asia. In 2024, your gifts helped make a two-day retreat for seminary leaders a resounding success. These leaders, many of whom operate in isolation due to security concerns, came together to share resources, exchange best practices, and receive training in modern educational methods. This retreat equipped them by strengthening theological education and empowering pastors to thrive and bear witness to the gospel in challenging circumstances.

In a region marked by advanced surveillance and persecution, seminaries and churches face significant obstacles. Local seminaries cannot be accredited, leaving online theological education from overseas institutions as the primary option for training pastors and church leaders. The retreat offered a rare and essential opportunity for seminary leaders to collaborate, build community, and gain tools to expand their impact.

Your support has been instrumental in equipping these leaders, enabling them to train pastors who are committed to spreading the gospel. Access to contextualized theological resources for indigenous leadership remains a crucial need, and the impact of these efforts is evident in the flourishing of the gospel in East Asia.

We are grateful for your partnership in this transformative task of advancing theological education and supporting leaders to thrive.
