AFTH is a strategic, Kingdom-oriented initiative that aims to strengthen the mission and build the capacity of Spanish language theological education providers in Latin America as they serve the Church. AFTH represents a unique Evangelical and interdenominational space for formal and non-formal Spanish language theological educators to engage, interact and cooperate.
AFTH’s Vision statement highlights the missional impact that the association aspires to, in convening, equipping and fostering Kingdom collaboration among Latin American theological education providers:
Vision: We are a catalytic community, committed to the development of missional theological formation.”
In furtherance of these strategic ends, AFTH will provide services that build the capacity of member schools and programs, grouped in three areas: Quality, Resources and Community.
AFTH will work to build capacity and strategic collaboration among the theological institutions of 16 Latin American countries: Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, Nicaragua, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, Uruguay and Venezuela. Through cooperation with ICETE’s Caribbean association (CETA), AFTH will extend fraternal relations and offer services and opportunities to theological education providers in Cuba, Dominican Republic and Puerto Rico. Similar agreements with ICETE’s associations in Africa (ACTEA), Europe (ECTE) and the United States (ABHE) will permit AFTH to serve Spanish language schools in Equatorial Guinea, Spain, the United States, as well as the diaspora of Spanish language institutions around the world.
