We have been celebrating ALS’s 20th anniversary these last 12 months. The last event associated with that celebration was our Open Day, in which we invited the public to come tour our school, have some fun, learn about our programs, and meet our faculty and staff. Thank you to all of those who came! We are honored to serve and help you in your theological education needs! We are also excited to see you in the Fall for the upcoming semester! God guide and keep you in all things!
With the start of this Fall Semester, ALS has entered into its 20th academic year (more information on that in the months ahead). We are so thankful to God for this privilege to serve God’s people. We pray that our students have a blessed and fruitful year as they learn God’s Word and grow in their faith. God bless them as they take the truth God has planted in their hearts and share it with others.
And he has given us this command: Anyone who loves God must also love their brother and sister. 1 John 4:21 Growing up with siblings can be fun. Brothers and sisters can create good memories.

This summer a group of ALS professors made the trip to America to study at Wisconsin Lutheran Seminary’s “Summer Quarter.” This program gives pastors and professors of theology the opportunity to study God’s Word intensively for a few weeks over the summer. It also allows our professors the chance to fellowship with other pastors and professors from all over the world, while at the same time serves to keep them sharp for the classroom in Asia.
The Hellenistic Jews among them complained against the Hebraic Jews because their widows were being overlooked in the daily distribution of food. . . choose seven men from among you who are known to be full of the Spirit and wisdom. We will turn this responsibility over to them. Acts 6:1,3 “I just can’t believe how many broken people are in my congregation.” That’s how one pastor evaluated the people under his care. Yes, some areas of the world or some congregations may seem more broken than others. But the fact that people are broken shouldn’t ...
While they were stoning him, Stephen prayed, ‘Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.’ Then he fell on his knees and cried out, ‘Lord, do not hold this sin against them.’ When he had said this, he fell asleep. Acts 7:59,60 Stephen has the distinction of being the first Christian martyr.
