ABSW hears from American Baptist
Missionary, Ingrid Roldan-Roman
at Community Forum
Ingrid Roldan-Roman is someone who is very special to American Baptist Seminary of the West. As a mark of that cherished relationship, Ingrid received an honorary doctorate from the seminary just a few years ago.
Ingrid ministers in Panama through the Federation of Baptist Associations in Costa Rica. The area in which Ingrid lives and ministers is near the Costa Rican border. Her ministry extends to both sides of the border, encouraging churches and Christian leaders in Panama and Costa Rica.
She is also involved in theological education through the Theological Center for the Caribbean, based in Limon, Costa Rica. The Theological Center of the Caribbean aims to renew local churches by responding to their specific leadership training needs and by promoting a holistic outreach in their communities.
As an extension of this Center she also directs a tutoring program for elementary and high school students who have fallen behind. She is also carrying out pastoral duties at the Inglesia Bautista La Gran Comision in Sixaola. This church has become the refuge for the community during times of floods and other disasters.
In accordance with President Martin's vision of ABSW being a "seminary without walls" ABSW is strengthening relationships with partners across the West Coast, the U.S., and internationally.
For prospective students in the Northwest U.S., consider our extension program in Salem, Oregon, the Northwest House of Theological Studies. Read more...
