Kim,Yeon Jeon the Founder Evangelical Presbyterian Theological Seminary and Evangelical Presbyterian church of Nepal). In 2006-2008 God led me to come to ACTS in Korea and finished my Th. M. course. In 2008 June I went back to Nepal and worked together with Korean missionary in the seminary training church planter till 2012. I am very happy and thankful to God all the Board member and the faculty of ACTS for giving me another privilege to come and study for my Ph.D. course.

I was born and grown up in Medan, North Sumatra. Then I moved to Java Island for further studies. Before I came to South Korea, I was teaching in a Christian school in Bekasi, West Java. Here at ACTS I am pursuing Th.M., majoring in Old Testament. I finished Master of Divinity also in South Korea, that was at Asia LIFE University in Daejeon (2006 - 2009). After completing my studies at ACTS, I pray that I come back to my country to teach people in order to equip and make disciples based on God’s Word. I am Raveen Kumar from India, and came to Korea just before one month. I was working as pastor and teacher, running an organization called “We Will Worship Ministries” in which we have village ministry, church planting, youth ministry, social work and the bible school. By the grace of God there are 18 pastors in the Bible school, who are equipping themselves with the living word of God back in India. God blessed me with an incredible vision and mission to be a blessing to many, for which I wanted to be a preacher and teacher for His glory in the days to come. One parts of the mission is establishing a university back in India in which many the needy will be provided. I joined in AIGS for Th. M. program major in New Testament. It’s a great blessing for me being in AIGS, I just feel it as my home, faculties are tremendous, they are not just as professors but like my family members. I love this campus and life style in it. I sturdily consider that AIGS is the right place where I can endow myself with education and Christian integrity with utmost spiritual life. Perhaps any one asks me about the best place, I will say it is AIGS. My name is An Juanjuan from China. I am now studying Th.M. course in ACTS, and my major is New Testament. At the same time, I am doing my ministry in Chinese worship of Chung-ang University Church every weekend now. I have been a biology teacher in a high school of China for one and half years. I like teaching, so after I graduate from here I want to go back to China to teach the Bible and teach theology. Thank you! God bless you! I am a pastor and was serving in a church called Bade Baptist church, Nagaland; India. In God’s own good time, He brought me to ACTS to enhance and equip myself for His ministry through Th.M (Practical Theology) program. I count it all joy and blessing to be a part of ACTS family. God bless ACTS family! My name is Paogoumang Chongloi from India. I was born and brought up in a Christian family. I am the youngest son in the family. I accepted Jesus Christ as my personal saviour in 24 April, 2006 and joined the theological seminary in the same year. Before I arrived in ACTS, I completed my Bachelor of Divinity in 2010 and was involving in the church’s children and youth ministry. I was born in a pagan family. But I saw myself growing up in the church as a child. It was in my primary school days that my life was handed over to Christ during the spiritual emphasis week. From then I began to attend the new seekers class where I was taught the ways of the Lord and became baptized after confessing Christ as my personal Savior and Lord in the year December 16, 1973, by the late Rev. J.M. Mokwe of blessed memory. I sensed my call into the gospel ministry in my primary school years. Later on while as an apprentice of auto- mechanic, it became very clear that I will serve the Lord Jesus Christ. This took effect when I did abandon all that I had into full time training of five years in the Cameroon Baptist Theological Seminary, from 1986-1991. After serving for two years in the field, went in again for an advanced program, Diploma of Theology. This was from 1993-1996. Another moment of training after some years of field work, I went in for the B.A. in theology; from 2007 to 2010 at the Baptist Seminary Kumba, Republic of Cameroon. I have served in the following capacities: church pastor, association evangelist, chaplain, Gospel leader, church musician (organist, piano). Wissenschaftlichkeit der Theologie: A Scientific Approach to the Bible (II) Mission Culture & Opinion Saleem S. Younas (1) I am Saleem S. Younas from Pakistan. I have been serving my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ in Pakistan since 1996. Pakistan is one of the leading Muslim countries with an estimated population over 180 million, which makes it the second largest Muslim country and the sixth most populous country in the world. The major religion of Pakistan is Islam. According to the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), World Fact-book, Library of Congress and Oxford University, over 97% of the total population of Pakistan is Muslim and the remaining 3% is Christian, Hindus and others. Most frequently, Pakistani Christians suffer into the hands of Islamic radicals because of their faith in Jesus Christ. Blasphemy law is a hanging sword on Christian believers because of its misuse against them. Often, blasphemy law becomes a major cause of Christian persecution in Pakistan. But in spite of all these problems, the Christians are growing in Pakistan by God s grace and mercy. I thank God to be born in the toughest land like Pakistan where I have been practicing my Christian faith and witnessing Christ to the non-Christians. My parents are true believers in Christ who led me to my Savior Christ. I accepted Jesus Christ as my personal Lord and Savior at the age of seventeen. Soon after my life-changing encounter with God, I got involved in local church youth activities and began to experience divine love and mercies in my life. The Lord began to prepare me for preaching the gospel. For the first stage of ministerial training, He led me to join Pakistan Operation Mobilization (OM Team) Para-church organization in 1989. I joined OM Team just to spend my three months summer vacation but the Lord had a wonderful plan for me which eventually turned out to be two and a half years training until I decided to serve him for the rest of my whole life. For the last one and a half years of my service with OM Team, I was given the responsibility to lead travelling team. During this period, we reached out with the gospel to thousands of believers and non-believers in the whole Punjab province from North to South. I can never forget my adventurous trips down to the northern parts of the North West Frontier Province (NWFP), which are strictly controlled by the Islamic fundamentalists. During evangelism, many times we were abused, beaten and taken to the police stations, but I thank Lord it was a wonderful and unforgettable part of my training. I acknowledge OM Team proved to be a gateway to my Christian ministry. Today, I am a pastor because of the explosion that OM Team brought into my life. It opened my eyes to understand and respond the divine call for Christian Mission in Pakistan.
