"The reality today is that our neighborhoods are more multicultural than we realize. Crossing cultures with the gospel is no longer limited to buses, boats, or planes. Sometimes, all it takes is taking a few steps outside our homes, and the nations are already within reach." (Castillo-Tan, AMA 2026)
But we stop short, because we do not feel equipped.

Join this seminar on ANTHROPOLOGY FOR EVERYDAY WITNESS: Crossing cultures with the gospel, with today's leading missiologist and Christian anthropologist, Darrell Whiteman. This seminar is especially for pastors, missionaries, and church ministers.

See details on the poster below.

*Dr. Whiteman will also be teaching a PhD Module from March 16-21, at the AGST Philippines-BSOP Intercultural Studies program. If interested, we can provide contact information.

PhD Module
ANTHROPOLOGY FOR EVERYDAY WITNESS
March 16 - 21, 2026

This course will introduce PhD students to the field of cultural and missiological anthropology to help them understand the impact of culture on themselves, on those with whom they interact and serve, and even on how we read and interpret the Bible. The goal of the course is to develop skills and perspectives for more effective cross- cultural ministry in everyday life. The primary focus of the course is on applying anthropological insights to ministry in diverse cultural settings. Special attention will be given to the Incarnation as a model for ministry, the fundamentals of culture, cross-cultural communication, contextualization, and worldview differences.

Jason Richard Tan's Session

SPIRITUAL WELLBEING BEYOND NUMBERS: A BIBLICAL AND CONTEXT-BASED APPROACH FOR APPRAISING CHURCH HEALTH
Jason Richard Tan, Ph.D. & Wendell Campano, Ph.D. ongoing

Abstract: Spiritual formation and church health can be difficult to appraise, as evidenced by ongoing controversies. Local churches often equate spiritual health with attendance, financial stability, and volume of activities, overlooking the vital aspect of character formation and the Spirit’s transformative work. Therefore, any assessment tool we develop must highlight the ethical, moral, and spiritual values of God’s community found in God’s Word, such as the Fruit of the Spirit and the Sermon on the Mount. This breakout will illustrate how to develop a simple, context-based tool for assessing church health with the aim of reducing our dependence on Western-designed resources

"UNTIL CHRIST IS FORMED IN YOU": PAUL'S THEOLOGY OF SPIRITUAL FORMATION IN GALATIANS AND ITS CHALLENGES FOR DISCIPLESHIP AND PUBLIC WITNESS
Noli Mendoza, Ph.D. ongoing

Abstract: This presentation offers a close reading of key passages in Galatians to uncover Paul’s theology of spiritual formation as the progressive embodiment of Christ in both individual believers and the believing community, encapsulated in the phrase, “until Christ is formed in you” (Gal. 4:19). It argues that for Paul, formation begins with divine revelation (1:15–16), is shaped by a cruciform identity (2:20), expressed in communal unity (3:28) and ethical fruit (5:22–23), and lived out in a Christ-formed community (6:1–10). This Spirit-led, communal, and transformative vision challenges discipleship models rooted in individualism and external conformity. The presentation concludes by highlighting the enduring relevance of Paul’s vision for the Church’s spirituality, discipleship, and public witness today.
