The Pan-Asia Pastoral Cohort (PAPC) has launched with the two special classes (in-person classes, Dr. Ezra Cho) in Asian Director’s Conference in S. nation, January 9-11, 2025. The PAPC is equivalent to a Master of Divinity program emphasizing UBF’s mission, vision, and core values. This program is designed to develop the local native leaders in Asia mission fields with sound biblical/theological foundations, leadership strength, and Christlike character. The PAPC has been established under the UBF General Director’s supervision to provide quality spiritual, biblical, and theological training to Asian ministry leaders.
The PAPC members (15 members in 5 Asian nations) have joined in 2025: Dr. John A., Dr. Samuel P., Peter K., Active K., James G., Asem (India, 6); Vincent L., ES Hong, Ronny (Malaysia, 3); Caleb G., Ebbe M., Bat-E. (Mongol, 3); Dr. Mark H., Yowan N. (Taiwan, 2); Dr. Isaac S. (Cambodia, 1). The four quarterly semesters will be held through online bi-weekly classes in 2025. May God bless and use the PAPC to establish equipped Asian native shepherds and directors to serve the Asian mission.
