One of our faculty got this cartoon from a letter of a missionary they support.  The task of your CBS-Asia is also best illustrated by this cartoon.  You can find in the pictures three groups of people: (1) people who need to be pulled up, (2) a person serving as the contact point of rescuers and those need to be rescued, and (3) people pulling or holding up both the contact person and those to be rescued.

The people at the bottom are the people to whom we, through CBS-Asia, minister.  The contact person is CBS-Asia and the people on top are people like you and CBAP churches who continue to believe and benefit from the training and educational programs of CBS-Asia.

CBS-Asia is providing partial scholarships to qualified CBAP members who desire to pursue a Bachelor’s or Matster’s degree Theology or Divinity with a view of entering the pastorate. Application is now going on at the CBS-Asia office. Applicants must come personally and bring the following:
