Prof. Janke and Dr. Doebler have been reassigned to Australia to begin new gospel work that involves reaching out to Chinese and other immigrants in Brisbane, discipling the believers, raising up leaders, and helping them start new groups. Dr. Doebler will continue to teach for ALS online and in person for intensive courses as there is opportunity. We are excited for this new chapter of their ministries as they serve God "down under" in gospel ministry....

God has blessed ALS with an amazing (and unique) opportunity! We now are partnering with our SALEM church brothers and sisters to serve a group of Hong Kong believers in New Zealand. They want a solid theological education in order to achieve their goal of establishing biblically sound churches in New Zealand. So… As part of this plan, they invited ALS Professor, Dr. Cheung to New Zealand to teach them a class in person. We pray for these believers and look forward to serving alongside them as they look to expand God’s kingdom in New Zealand....

Join ALS friends, staff, and faculty as we turn to our heavenly Father in prayer asking him to have mercy on all those in Taiwan who have been affected by the earthquake.

Yes. In Chinese today is called “Suffering Friday,” because Jesus suffered, but in English we say “Good Friday.” Why “good”? Our sins put Jesus on that cross 2000 years ago and that is sad, but what makes Good Friday good is what Jesus did on that Friday. He willingly took our place. Our sin has no power over us any longer because of him. What a good good Friday! We here at ALS are praying that you’ll have some moments this weekend to dwell on these eternal facts. Happy Good Friday and Happy Easter too!...

In February, Dr. Cheung’s research led him to Xi’an to do research on Christianity in China during the Tang Dynasty. Christianity was known to some in China as the “Jingjiao.” Evidence strongly suggests that these teachers of the “Jingjiao” were the first Syriac missionaries to come to China. Dr. Cheung’s research is a great reminder that God is in control and his Word went out all over the world throughout the ages and in this case, the Tang Dynasty!...
