We were greatly blessed to have Dr. Tennent minister to us at the Tulsa Merriot Hotel here in Tulsa last month! After hearing him, I was even much more grateful to be a graduate of Asbury Seminary!!!
Grace & Peace, Tim. We are blessed to have you and your wife with us. The future for ATS will unfold as a creative drama of God’s providential favor.
He leads a global parish right at Wilmore and in his study. Dr. Tennet’s contribution in his writings, travels and leading Asbury Seminary is a great contribution to the global church. A well deserved honor and acknowledgement and pray God will preserve and strengthen him in his work for a long time yet.
