Description

The church in Asia is growing with unprecedented speed, raising new challenges in the realm of effective, contextualized discipleship. Can this growing church nurture biblical training that is relevant to the contexts, communities, and livelihoods of its believers?
In this immensely relevant book, the Increase Association shares its practical wisdom on how to utilize Theological Education by Extension as “Tools to Equip and Empower” all believers for kingdom work. TEE in Asia provides a foundational understanding of TEE’s history, theological underpinnings, and methodology, while casting a vision for the expanding role of TEE in the twenty-first century. Filled with testimonies from church communities throughout Asia, this book provides concrete examples of TEE’s effectiveness in a wide variety of contexts and the innovative work of the Increase Association which connects, strengthens, and represents the national TEE movements. It invites the reader to partner with God’s work through prayer and tangible action.

Extrait

TEE exemplifies a model of theological education that is intentionally missional in its purpose and design. Thus it truly equips disciples and empowers churches to serve God’s mission in the world. This book not only explains the TEE philosophy and methodology but also demonstrates the impact of TEE training on learners, their churches, and their communities through the testimonies it contains. What an encouragement it is to read stories of the rapid growth of churches, especially in the difficult places, through TEE groups. TEE is definitely a gift to us in Asia!
Theresa Roco-Lua, EdD
General Secretary, Asia Theological Association
We live in exciting times, with unprecedented growth of the church across Asia. The need for quality leadership calls for approaches that not only provide solid biblical training but also holistic development. TEE in Asia: Empowering Churches, Equipping Disciples presents us with both theological and theoretical foundations for quality, church-based training with practical examples and stories that bring to life what God is doing in the region through the ministry of TEE. A must read for anyone serious about furthering a strong and growing church in Asia and beyond.
Perry Shaw, EdD
Former Professor of Education,

Author of Transforming Theological Education
I wholeheartedly endorse this much-needed book. It is easy to read, accurate, and has a useful reference bibliography. The book gives a basic but comprehensive understanding of how TEE works. But more importantly, it shares the thrilling results through personal testimonies of how the lives of thousands of individuals and churches have been transformed and empowered by studying and living God’s word through TEE. My hope and prayer is that this book will inspire many more churches to consider and use Tools to Equip and Empower in their ministries.
