AGTS Accreditation Visit Concludes

On March 14-16, AGTS hosted a comprehensive evaluation visit by two teams of representatives from the Association of Theological Schools (ATS) in the U.S. and Canada and The Higher Learning Commission (HLC) which is a member of the North Central Association, the regional accrediting agency of the North Central states.  The teams will submit their recommendations to these agencies who are expected to notify AGTS of the outcomes in the summer 2011.  A special thanks to alumni who participated in this process!

Several years ago, Dr. George Flattery and Network 211 received permission from Dr. Steve Lim to use one of his evangelistic concepts, "Ten Universal Felt-needs of Individuals and the Relevance of the Gospel," as the basis for an evangelistic website, www.JourneyAnswers.com.  In slightly over two years, more than two million individuals have visited this site. Over 150,000 have indicated spiritual interest, and over 50,000 had at least one email exchange with a discipler. During the past February a Chinese version of this website was completed.  More people in China are connected to the Internet than in any other country.
