“For wisdom will enter your heart, and knowledge will be pleasant to your soul.” (Proverbs 2:10 NIV) For missionaries Michael and Regine Kestner in Bangladesh, this verse captures perfectly the ministry at the CCTB – College of Christian Theology of Bangladesh. Whether it is on the college campus in Dhaka, or through the many TEE (Theological Education by Extension) courses offered around the country, students lives are changed as they study God’s word.

"It's a great thing to watch the students progress as they gain deeper insight into the Bible," say the Kestners. "The most beautiful thing for us is to see the impact this knowledge has on their lives." The college, founded in 1967, has several levels of study, based upon the the education level of incoming students. Students can work toward certificate and diploma levels, or earn a full bachelor’s degree. Since 2005, the CCTB also offers a Master’s Degree.
