People Care – A Wholistic Approach
Sower Institute for Biblical Discipleship (SIBD), in partnership with Asian Pastoral Institute (API) Adult Christian Education (ACE), is offering a series of discipleship training programmes. Discipleship is a journey, and ACE programmes are structured for such a journeying with you.
Learning Objectives:

What is Adult Christian Education?
ACE is the continuing education arm of the Asian Pastoral Institute. ACE offers a comprehensive and systematic approach to life-long learning for believers. It is a structured modular education programme that aims to build the capacity and capability of believers to be disciple-makers for Christ. ACE seeks to equip believers with Attitudes, Skills, Knowledge (ASK) for faithful Christian living and relevant ministry skills to meet present societal needs.

ACE is for all Christians who aspire to be disciple-makers for Christ and who desire to serve impactfully in their local churches and communities.
