AIIAS

At the break of dawn, as the clock struck 6:00 AM, the flags gently fluttered at the Bell Tower, raised by the PhD in Education Cohort students in preparation for the 110th Graduation Ceremony. ✨

Seventy-two nations, countless cultures, yet one faith and one mission. Each flag tells a story from different corners of the world, beautifully woven together here in the Philippines. Beneath the morning sky, they stood not as strangers of different lands, but as one body celebrating unity in diversity and the beauty of every culture God has gathered on this campus. 🌎

“The King of All Vices — Pride”
Pride was emphasized as the root of many sins, slowly leading people away from dependence on God. The message reminded everyone that no achievement, strength, or success is greater than God’s grace.

The remedy to pride is Jesus Christ. Only through Him can hearts be humbled, transformed, and restored. True greatness is found not in exalting self, but in surrendering fully to God.

Happy Sabbath! ✨

10 Days To Go!

Today was a meaningful day at the AIIAS Library as we officially unveiled the handcrafted AIIAS Bell Tower miniature!

On June 25, 2025, Noe Villanueva presented this handcrafted miniature to the library as a gift to AIIAS after his 30 years of faithful service. The final touches were lovingly completed by library staff members whose creativity and dedication helped bring the piece to completion.

We would like to thank everyone who took the time to celebrate with us! 🔔✨

About the AIIAS Bell Tower:

On March 26, 1999, the AIIAS Bell Tower, a 12-meter-high iconic structure on the AIIAS campus, was inaugurated. This was the fulfillment of the vision of Dr. Ina Longway, a member of the graduate school faculty, and was designed and constructed under the supervision of Dr. Edwin Reynolds, a seminary faculty.
