You can help train ministers around the world.

Your contribution helps us go to students who often have no other access to biblical education and training.

Our mission is to train, instruct, encourage, and resource ministers and community leaders to reach new heights through college and seminary courses, seminars, consultation, and publishing.

I have known Chad Payne as a student in his D.Min. classes at the Assemblies of God Theological Seminary of Evangel University. He was a great presenter, writer, researcher, and person! As an engaging professor, Chad is now able to motivate his own students and stir their hearts, both in the U.S. and cross-culturally around the world. Chad is sensitive to the Spirit, knowledgeable, and a terrific communicator, all wrapped up into one!
