This year’s Teachers’ Academy will focus on the field of homiletics. It will be held on September 1-4, 2025 (inclusive of arrival and departure) at the YWCA Hotel in Bangkok, Thailand. 

Professor Jared Alcantara has been invited by ATESEA, in partnership with the Association of Theological Schools (ATS), to be the main resource speaker in light of the challenges faced by homileticians in this age of globalization, the information technology revolution, and polarization, among other issues. At Baylor University’s Truett Theological Seminary, an ATS member school, Prof. Alcantara teaches preaching, holds the Paul W. Powell Endowment Chair in Preaching, and serves as the director of the Kyle Lake Centre for Effective Preaching.

Other issues that will be discussed include preaching to the Gen-Z, the role of preaching in the public square using diverse platforms, and others.
