A Spirit-filled Week With Speaker Justin Torrosian

The Adventist International Institute of Advanced Studies (AIIAS) hosted its Student Association (SA) Week of Prayer from October 21 to 26, 2024, under the theme “The History of Tomorrow.” The guest speaker, Pr. Justin Torossian, a great-great-great-grandson of Ellen G. White, delivered nine inspiring sessions that left the community spiritually renewed. His messages emphasized God’s guidance throughout history and His promises for the future, encouraging participants to place their trust in Him.


The morning sessions took place in the Amphitheater, while the evening gatherings were held in the AIIAS Auditorium. The program began on Monday evening and concluded on Sabbath with a special session for Pathfinders, where Pr. Torossian taught the Adventist Heritage Honor.

Each message was heartfelt and relevant, drawing participants closer to God.


A simultaneous Children’s Week of Prayer ran each evening from 6:00 to 7:00 PM, with the theme “Remember the Way.” This program ensured the younger members of the community were also spiritually engaged and nurtured during the week.


Several unique elements added a special touch to the Week of Prayer. Prayer Boxes placed around campus collected requests, which were prayed over throughout the week. The day began with dawn prayer sessions at 5:30 AM in the prayer garden, offering a peaceful time of reflection and worship. Prayer bands followed every evening meeting, bringing participants together in small groups to pray and share. Morning sessions featured quiz activities with exciting giveaways, and the first 50 attendees at each evening session received commemorative fridge magnets.


Midweek, Typhoon Kristine posed a challenge, but through God’s grace, the program seamlessly transitioned to online broadcasting, ensuring everyone could continue participating. The Sabbath school and Divine service were taken care of by the SA officers and the SA religious team. Sabbath lunch was marked by an international potluck in the gymnasium, where the AIIAS community shared food and fellowship. This joyful gathering brought a fitting close to the week’s activities before the final Pathfinder session.


On Friday, Pr. Torossian also visited AIIAS’ sister institutions, including SSD, the 1000 Missionary Movement, and the Philippines Publishing House. He departed for Australia on Sunday evening, leaving behind a strengthened and inspired community.


The 2024 SA Week of Prayer was a time of spiritual revival, unity, and gratitude. It reflected God’s blessings and the faith of the AIIAS community, making it a memorable and meaningful experience for all who participated.


The success of the SA Week of Prayer was made possible by the dedication of many individuals. The SA Religious Team, led by Chair Elfino Prayer Elmo and supported by Pr. Viliame, Pr. AJ Bernal, Pr. Jason Gulea, Pr. Haldeman, Jiawen Niu, and Lun, worked tirelessly to ensure everything ran smoothly. The SA officers, along with administrators and community members, provided invaluable support.

AIIAS First Term 2020-2021 Classes to Meet Online

AIIAS classes for the 2020-2021 school year will begin on August 10 as scheduled but will be delivered via distributed learning modality for the first term, which ends on October 7.

 

On June 30 the governor of Cavite province, where the AIIAS campus is located, announced that General Community Quarantine (GCQ) will continue. As of the date this news release is posted, this means that AIIAS cannot open the library for in-library student study, allow gatherings of over 10 people, or teach face-to-face classes. Additionally, travel to and away from campus continues to be significantly limited. Finally, the Council on Higher Education of the Philippines has announced that higher education institutions may start in August, but must use “flexible learning,” rather than customary face-to-face approaches.

 

Synchronous online delivery of classes will remain in effect until face-to-face classes are permitted by the government to meet again. However, it is recommended that full-time students travel to the AIIAS campus once it is practically and safely possible since the campus provides a conducive, protected study environment where students can focus on their studies, and where the best support and resources are available. By the end of August, the administration will post an announcement regarding the modality that will be used during Term B of the 1st Semester (Oct. 14 to Dec. 15).

 

AIIAS welcomes each of its new students to their programs, knowing that God is sending them for an important, life-changing educational experience.

Opening of Classes for Academic Year 2020-2021

AIIAS announces that classes at the Graduate School and Seminary are scheduled to begin on August 10, 2020, via online delivery and shift to face-to-face delivery on August 24, 2020.

 

AIIAS Academy, which caters to K-12 students, expects to start classes on August 3, 2020, via blended delivery, and shift to full face-to-face delivery on August 24, 2020.

 

Should the scheduled move to face-to-face delivery be adjusted by Philippine government authorities, that information will be shared by AIIAS on the institution’s web page, email lists for students, and social media.

 

Classes at all levels at AIIAS were moved to online delivery in March 2020, when the enhanced community quarantine went into effect due to the COVID-19 Pandemic.

 

AIIAS continues to enhance its capacities in technology, infrastructure, and personnel to strengthen blended learning alternatives and offer access to its programs in a variety of ways.

 

While the on-campus experience provides the most well-rounded preparation for leadership, AIIAS recognizes that many individuals cannot participate in that option for a variety of reasons, and is preparing to provide additional distance learning options for individuals who wish for the AIIAS experience while needing to stay engaged in their employment.

 

These options will be announced as they become available.

 

The deadline to submit an admission application for graduate-level programs is July 10, 2020. The application fee is waived for eligible applicants who plan to enroll in the new school year. English proficiency requirements now include the Duolingo English test in addition to the TOEFL and IELTS proficiency tests. 

 

Visit our English Center page to find out more about the English proficiency information.

 

AIIAS Academy will be accepting applications on June 16, 2020. Families are strongly encouraged to apply before July 24, 2020.
