ELI Asia Newsletter Q2 2024
The recent donation of 46 copies of Wayne Grudem’s “Systematic Theology” and 9 copies of “The Law and the Gospel” to ELI Asia marks a significant contribution to theological education and resources within the organization.

ELI Asia Newsletter Yearend 2023
Dr. Hans F. Bayer, Professor of New Testament at Thirdmill talked about how the Holy Spirit empowered the ministry of the Gospel. He said: “As the apostles advanced the mission of the church, their work on the frontiers of the kingdom was consistently confirmed by dramatic outpourings of the Holy Spirit. Through the Spirit’s power, the Gospel spread unhindered from Jerusalem to Judea, and Samaria and to the ends of the earth. Even today, the power of the Holy Spirit is the only means by which the church can be transformed and effectively spread the Gospel, we too must seek to depend on the Spirit’s power if we are to…

ELI Asia Newsletter 2023
God is good. God is faithful even when weâre not. God is sovereign in good and in bad. ELI Asia as a teaching organization is never immune to trials and testing. The truth is that because of its desire to equip and teach local pastors and leaders to become biblically sound, its leaders and teaching faculty are often tested for their faithfulness to do the work entrusted to them by no less than God. God gives the desire to teach and this gives ELI Asia, a faculty composed of learned pastors who strive to endure and persevere to be able to teach the local church and various campuses. As God…

ELI Asia | Year in Review
2022 has been a busy year for ELI Asia. God has enabled us to continue His work of teaching pastors and lay leaders. You see, the purpose of ELI Asia is to develop biblical leaders for the local churches, our priority are those in the provinces.

But God in His goodness has blessed us this year with two more campuses in Metro Manila. We pray that the Lord will help us grow numerically but more important than that, we…

ELI Asia Newsletter | Issue 02|2021
Time is unbelievably fast. It seems only yesterday we entered 2021 and now the year is almost over. Yet despite that, work in the ministry has never been this fulfilling. Maybe we didn’t feel the time passing because we’ve all committed ourselves to growing in knowledge, learning the Word of God in-depth, and teaching others about what we learned. 2021 for ELI Asia is nothing short of a victory. This year has been so fruitful and the campuses have been busy, desiring to learn continuously. Our campus in Sta. Rosa, the EZRA Institute of Theology was able to complete Hermeneutics, Old Testament Surveys 2 and 3 and have just finished…
