Our latest round of Koine Greek courses started this week. We are blessed to have so many different students from different places to study with us. We also keep them in our prayers as this Greek program is very demanding and intense. God bless them and the professors in their efforts to read your word in its original language!
We are pleased to announce that we have a brand new website for our bookstore. We welcome you to come check it out. There you can check out our latest selection of book offerings! Here’s the link: https://asiaseminary.boutir.com/
Renovations on the 11th floor have been completed (and well before the beginning of next semester)! The classroom that was located on the 10th floor is now on the 11th floor. The Multi-Languages Productions office is now located on the 16th floor. We are excited to use this new classroom/meeting room and thank God for the privilege to continue serving Hong Kong and Asia with theological education and ministerial training.
As the academic year draws to a close, the ALS family wants to wish all of our students, faculty, supporters, and friends a restful and blessed summer. Whether you are continuing your studies, serving in your congregation, or simply enjoying time with family, we pray that these months would be a season of refreshment for both body and soul. Rest is a gift from God, just as work is, and we encourage you to use this time to draw near to him in his word. We look forward to welcoming everyone back for the new semester ...
A number of ALS professors are using the time between the semesters during the summer to take continuing education courses at our sister synod’s seminary, Wisconsin Lutheran Seminary (WLS). Every other summer WLS holds a “Summer Quarter” when pastors and church leaders from all over America (and the world) are welcomed to spend up to three weeks living on campus studying God’s word through intensive courses. These courses build the students up in their faith and help them to lead others to grow in their faith. Study of God’s word is a life long pursuit, even ...
Every three years, Lutheran church bodies of the Confessional Evangelical Lutheran Conference (CELC) gather for a convention. Representatives from around the globe gather to discuss ministry, study God’s word together, and join in worship. This gathering celebrates the fact that these church bodies believe and confess the same doctrinal truths. This year, ALS President Jon Bare had the honor of being elected as the secretary of CELC. This is a proud moment for ALS. We look forward to serving CELC church bodies in Asia with solid theological education for the spread of the gospel.
ALS had the opportunity to engage with hundreds of other ministries across the globe at this year’s EMDC conference in Chiang Mai, Thailand. This allowed us to get view into what’s happening in the world of Bible translation and also what’s the latest with ministries that leverage the best of technology to get the gospel out to people. ALS’s TELL certificate piqued many people’s interest as a great way to train people on how to start groups that gather around God’s word.
This month, ALS held an intensive live course at the Chiang Mai campus on Church Administration by Dr. Guy Marquardt. We praise God that despite the difficulties involved with traveling, students from all over Asia were still able to gather together in one place to study the Word of God.
As the Spring 2026 semester comes to a close, we thank God for all the hard work the students and faculty have put into their studies. We pray that the students have a restful summer break and that God continues bless their ministries. Please click the link to see the end of the year message from Professor Zhu. LINK HERE
