AGTS Raising Funds to Renovate Building; Optimize Resources for Students
 AGTS is now in its 40th year of existence. In 1997, the seminary moved to its current building. The last 15 years of ministry training have contributed to the need for some repairs to roofing, air conditioning, flooring and the HVAC system. Additional training resources are also needed for students.
The purpose of the R.O.I. Campaign is to raise funds to renovate the seminary facilities and optimize training resources for students. If you have not participated yet, would you prayerfully consider financially investing in AGTS to equip students for the next generation of ministry by giving a one-time gift or a monthly pledge for this project?
Thank you to each alum who has already participated in this project-your gift is making a difference!
For more information visit www.agts.edu/link/roi512 or call 417.268.1020. You can also contact Dorothea Lotter, director of institutional and alumni relations for further details. |

Books and Publications
 President Byron D. Klaus and Dr. DeLonn Rance ('83) have contributed to The Encyclopedia of Christian Civilization, a comprehensive reference work on the history and impact of Christianity. This 4-volume work is comprised of 1,400 entries that provide an in-depth look at Christianity through its history and the way it has shaped societies around the world. The authors explore a series of interlocking major themes, including key theological ideas, global and regional history, worship, society and Christianity, among others. These themes contribute to an understanding of Christianity as a truly global phenomenon with strong denominational and regional identities.
Dr. Klaus wrote the article "Missiology" and Dr. Rance wrote "Assemblies of God," "Church Growth Movement," "Majority World Missions" and "Missionary Call."
Also contributing were AGTS alum Paul Alexander ('95), professor of theology and ethics at Azusa Pacific University, and AGTS adjunct professor David Thomas. Dr. Alexander wrote "Nationalism and Ethnicity," "Christianity as Civil Religion" and "Just Peacemaking." Dr. Thomas wrote "Parthians," "Michelangelo (1475-1564)," "Roman Imperial Cult," "Second Coming" and "Leonardo Da Vinci (1452-1519)."
 The Magnanimous Truth
by Ron Tuttle ('88)

Ron and Barbara Tuttle have served together in ministry as pastors, Bible school teachers, counselors, and church planters. Forty years of their ministry were spent in and for India, and with Global University.
