"Investing in the life of one person impacts the lives of many"

Dear friends,

We hope that you are as excited as we are at the various opportunities that the Lord is opening before us. There is a dire need for qualified national Christian leaders in the Middle East and North Africa region. Locals are already positioned in place to reach deep into the nations and communities of the   region. They already know the language and the culture enabling them to create unforeseen and unprecedented opportunities to witness to the lost around them. With God's grace, and your support, we hope to continue to train and equip national leaders that would be able to serve and strengthen the Christians communities in this section of the world. 

The global financial crisis is leaving its toll on one and all, yet we have a mission to carry and we cannot but respond to God's leading! We pray for visionary partners who can support the education and development of the next generation of Arab national Christian leaders;  partners who can walk alongside ABTS  that we may steadily continue to  prepare future pastors, evangelists, teachers, and lay leaders for the Arab world.

Our vision at ABTS is ‘to see God glorified, people reconciled, and communities restored through the church in the Arab world'. This year, we have 22 full-time and double the number part-time students enrolled in our campus-based programs. Your support will help us cover the tuition, residency, and medical care of our full-time students, as well as the costs associated with any accompanying child. Likewise, it will cover the tuition fees for our part-time students.  In doing so, you will be investing in the transformation of lives starting from our students, and through them, to the communities that the Lord has called them to serve.  Our students this year come from Algeria, Sudan, Egypt, Iraq, Jordan, and Lebanon.  Think of the impact that your support will make possible in each of these countries.

We urge you to partner with us in this God-glorifying ministry, particularly amidst the current sharp economic crisis! Help us avoid cutting down on our programs and the quality of ABTS ministry. Remember, investing in the life of one person impacts the lives of many. 

Thank you and may God bless you.
