The mission of APTS to train workers under the leadership of the Holy Spirit for the Lord’s harvest in Asia and Pacific Oceania has remained unchanged for the last sixty years, although the methods and strategies to do so must be altered from time to time. This expanded edition includes the story of how this has been done over the last twenty years, taking into account the rapid changes in technology and educational delivery systems, especially in light of the COVID-19 pandemic.

From the Preface of the Second Edition
Much of this history comes from the first-person accounts of those who were directly involved, especially those who served in the role of president. In addition to these reflections, catalogs, school annuals, board minutes, presidential reports, internal memoranda, photo collections and other documents were consulted. Since few of these are public documents were consulted. Since few of these are public documents and the content was verified by those directly involved, we determined that it would be of limited value to footnote such sources. However, all sources remain a part of these APTS archives and are available to anyone interested in further research.
The FEAST/APST story provides a striking example of God’s sovereign direction of missionaries, educators, and national leaders over many years to develop an institution of exceptional quality for training of young men and women for Pentecostal ministry in their own nations. As a fundamental strategy to advance the kingdom of God around the world, the training of national leaders has remained a significant emphasis of Assemblies of God missions to this day. I pray that this accounting of the events that led to the development of FEAST/APST will serve as an inspiration to those who continue to devote themselves to Great Commission ministry.
