This Pentecostal school exists to train African pastors, evangelists, and missionaries to reach their own nations and other with the message of Christ’s love.

Many of WAAST’s students come from homes where they learn to serve false gods. God has called them out of the kingdom of darkness into His kingdom. To read testimonies of God’s love, visit the "Testimonies" page.

WAAST’s professors and staff members come from many places, giving students a richer learning experience. To learn more about the staff, visit the "Resident Faculty" page.
