Asbury Seminary is continuing to work with other institutions around the world to secure these global partnerships, which is Asbury Seminary’s next major missional outreach in engaging the global Church.

Dr. Leslie A. Andrews, Vice President of Academic Affairs and Provost, said, “Asbury Seminary is moving more fully into its original call to ‘spread scriptural holiness throughout the world’. By linking hands with global partners, we seek to do more in cooperating the ‘missio dei’ than any institution by itself could do.”
