Welcome to the APT Online Home!



APT stands for AustralAsia-Pacific Thrust. It is the region of the world we reach out to as a missions organization. It is geographically the farthest from these United States. APT is also an acronym for Andrew and (his late wife) Patsy Taylor, and we sensed this was a most appropriate name for the ministry. It was also a way of honoring Patsy as Andrew’s wife, biggest prayer supporter, insight sharer, and trusted confidante in this far-reaching missions ministry.

APT Foundation is an inter-denominational missions ministry, and was pioneered by Andrew and Patsy in 1990. As of 2008, APT supports 100+ pastors in 10 countries; has constructed 16 church buildings; has purchased 17 motorcycles for native pastors, and is establishing 3 Bible colleges in Fiji, Northern India, and Indonesia!

2 Timothy 2:24 says, "The Lord's servant should be APT to teach..."   Teaching is Andrew's strongest gifting.

2 Kings 24:16 says, "...soldiers... strong and APT for war."   We are committed to moving ahead in a positive way, gaining ground for God!

Supporting Pastors in developing countries
One of the first objectives of APT was to help financially subsidize native pastors in developing countries. Over a decade and a half, the missions aspect of this ministry has been assisting nearly 100 pastors in the Asia-Pacific region of the world. Two of the biggest target nations have been Indonesia - the most populated Moslem country in the world, and India - the most populated Hindu country in the world! It averages US $29 per month to help subsidize one native pastor! For more information, contact us.

APT Foundation has helped to purchase 17 motorcycles to facilitate needy pastors to be more effective in reaching people in remote areas of developing countries.

Constructing Church Buildings
Since our incipience, APT has financially helped to construct 17 simple but solid church buildings in Indonesia, India, Fiji, Vanuatu, and the Solomon Islands. It averages US $5,000 to assist with the construction of a simple church building! For more information, contact us.

Feeding and Educating Needy Children
Over the last couple years APT has branched out into ‘Mercy Ministries’ by sending financial assistance to help feed and educate many destitute children from slum areas in North India. It costs $10 to help feed and educate one child per month. For more information, contact us.

Starting Christian Elementary and Secondary Schools
AICS (American International Christian School) was established in 2003 in the Fiji Islands at our 9-acre ABC (APT Bible College) campus there. It is proving to be a very successful and viable venture. It is already accredited by the Department of Education in Fiji from Kindergarten thru Grade 13 (College entry level). $29 per child per month will help subsidize tuition costs for a needy child. For more information, contact us.

Likewise, SAICS (St. Andrew's International Christian School) is slated to commence on our North India APT Bible College campus in 2008, where construction is progressing rapidly right now. $29 per child per month will help provide a stable and nurturing environment for a child here, too. For more information, contact us.

Bible Colleges Established
The first APT Bible College was established in 1996, in the Fiji Islands, in the beautiful South Pacific. It has had an average of nearly 35 students graduate each year. It now also offers a ‘Diploma in Theology’!

A second APT Bible College was pioneered in Jakarta, Indonesia. For security reasons, we shall not share much more here! Suffice to say we have nearly 60 students here, and many new churches being established through their practical course requirements! This then, is our Christian response to 9/11! :) PTL.

Our North India APT Bible College started functioning in 2005. Opposition to the Gospel is much stronger in the North than in the South. Thus our deliberate choice of location! This 6-acre campus will sleep a minimum of 50 students; host SAICS - our Christian School, and also our new Medical clinic! $29 per month will help us train a young man or woman in any of these countries into an able minister of the Gospel of Jesus Christ!
