Description / Abstract
Our school slogan, since its founding, has remained, “Bridging Cultures for Christ.” There is one (only one) bridge across campus. The present bridge was erected over the old one, which you can still see below it. It is much stronger than the previous one. It was used for the construction of the Nielson Center of Education and Evangelism, and you can drive a dump truck over it. It is built to last. Whereas winding steps led down to the previous bridge, this new bridge makes both sides of our campus accessible for wheelchairs. Practically everyone crosses the bridge on a daily basis. The bridge is so routinely used we forget that there are two sides of our campus, indeed two property deeds. Think of how difficult it would be for us if there were no bridge! We would remain two segmented, divided communities. Furthermore, the bridge reminds us daily of the world in which we live – it floats by, outward to the sea. Building bridges has been the theme of APNTS and the focus of our vision statement: “Bridging cultures for Christ, APNTS equips each new generation of leaders to disseminate the gospel of Jesus Christ throughout Asia, the Pacific, and the world.” The initial thought in Donald Owens’s mind in the phrase “Bridging Cultures for Christ” was that many people groups remained enemies of each other – or, if not enemies, estranged from each other or misunderstood. Indeed there are few earthly reasons for fellowship: different languages, different religions, and past wars separate people. But those who come to APNTS from the Philippines, Korea, Japan, Myanmar, the United States, and many other countries are one if they are in Christ. APNTS brings together divided people, and establishes new relationships transcending old estrangements.
