Cebu Graduate School of Theology, where Ernest, ReachGlobal personnel with EFCA EQUIP teaches, is being visited today by a government inspection team. The purpose of this team is to confirm that the seminary meets all the requirements to offer a Ph.D. degree in theology.
The seminary needs to offer this degree in order to develop and empower local Filipino faculty (most of the faculty are expat American missionaries). Presently there are no Filipinos who have earned doctorates (from approved programs) in the fields where they teach. Our Ph.D. program would fill this gap and allow the seminary to continue serving into the next generation.
Please pray that the inspection team will look with favor upon the seminary and that the government agency, Commission on Higher Education (CHED) will grant approval for the Ph.D. program. If approval is given, the seminary would be only the second school in the Philippines with such a program.
