The Adventist International Institute of Advanced Studies (AIIAS) celebrated the institution’s 99th graduation ceremonies with 95 graduates from 35 countries and represent 12 of the world divisions of the Seventh-day Adventist Church.
“We join to celebrate as these graduates receive the diplomas they deserve,” said AIIAS president, Stephen Guptill.
The graduates have indicated plans to go to every continent and continue serving the Lord through multiple channels.
The guest speakers included Elie Henry, Executive Secretary of Inter-American Division; Alberto Gulfan, Jr., President of Southern Asia-Pacific Division; and Doug Batchelor, President of Amazing Facts Ministries.
Batchelor said in his message, “Many people measure success by how many serve you, but in God’s kingdom success is measured by how many people you serve.”
The AIIAS class of 2015 gifted the institution with funds to update the institution’s logo at the campus’ main entrance.
AIIAS is a Seventh-day Adventist higher education institution that offers only master’s and doctoral degrees. It is located just 45 kilometers out of Manila, Philippines and has students from more than 80 countries
