Organization Leader – Malaysia
I left [the consultation] with a sense of the increasing depth and strength of evangelical theological education and that there is a passing of the baton to a new, younger generation. I am content!

ICETE has played an indispensable role in fostering and serving the development of evangelical theological education in the majority world. Now it is playing an even more strategic role in building mutually beneficial partnership between the global north and global south in our common task of equipping the church for theological maturity and effective mission. And in both of those goals, we in Langham Partnership count ICETE among our closest and most valued partners.
International Ministries Director, Langham Partnership
ICETE provides a unique global platform for the facilitation of bench marking, dialogue and cooperation among continental evangelical scholars and theological institutions in order to guarantee and inspire sound, authentic and faithful witness of the Lord Jesus Christ for the redemption and restoration of our sin-infected world.
Association Leader – Africa
The ICETE is the evangelical voice of theological community giving the guidance, leading the way for excellence in theological education. With 8 theological associations covering the whole world, it the best and healthy organization.
Association Leader – Asia
Biblical and theological higher education is a burgeoning and desperately needed global enterprise. As North Americans, we are eager to contribute. But we are not eager to repeat the errors of colonization and the “West is best” mindset that has too-often characterized a good deal of well-meaning North American engagement in global theological education. Our participation in ICETE allows us to express solidarity with and contribute to all of global evangelical theological education as a partner and peer, not as a benefactor. Our association and its member institutions are immeasurably enriched by our ICETE peer member networks, triennial global consultations on theological education, collectively forged principles and best practices for theological education renewal and excellence, and in a host of other ways.
