History:
ABU was born out of the Theological Education vision of the Mt. Rt. Rev. Dr. K. MICHAEL DEVADANAM, an Educationalist and Social Leader in South India. He founded the APCOC, in 2016 which administers ABU and led by Prof. Dr. Rev. K. RAJANANDAN VIGNAN. It was started in submission in God’s call to His Disciple Mt. Rt. Rev. Dr. K. MICHAEL DEVADANAM.
God asked him to make disciples of all Nations Mt. 28: 18-20. The powers to change lives, shine into darkness, and deliver evil men from hell. Based on II Corinthians 4: 4 – But God can and frequently does penetrate the darkness with the glorious gospel, and He uses us to do it. He knows which “fish” are His; and His guidance on all our fishing expedition. PRAYER IS ESSENTIAL
