Andrew and Adriana Panaggio-Vilca
Peru
Andrew serves as a Mesa Scholar with Mesa Global. I’m currently working on my PhD in Old Testament at Wheaton College. Upon completion, we will be moving to Peru, where both Adriana and I grew up, to serve in theological education. The Peruvian evangelical church is growing, but there is a great need for trained ministry leaders and theological educators as most pastors have little or no theological education. Our mission is to equip pastors and ministry leaders to see the world from God's perspective and live in the world according to God's design.
Adriana will be home with the kids and will be actively involved in serving the church.

Nimrod Tica
Philippines
Nimrod Tica serves as Executive Director of the school, and as such, he is part of IGSL’s Leadership Team. He has been ministering as a pastor since 1996. An ordained minister of Higher Ground Baptist Missions, Inc., he serves as a member of the pastoral staff of Malabon International Baptist Church. After graduating from the International School of Theology–Asia (now IGSL), Nimrod joined IGSL as an adjunct faculty in 1999 and became full-time faculty in 2008. He has served at IGSL as Associate Executive Director, Dean of Faculty, and Associate Dean of Academic Affairs.
Nimrod desires to teach theology for life transformation. For him, it is important to think critically through theological issues with fellow believers with a goal to see life-change, which eventually leads to societal impact. He sees theology as an indispensable aspect of fulfilling the Great Commission. He understands the importance of teaching theology as a means “to equip the saints for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ” (Eph. 4:12).
Nimrod is married to Vivian, and they have four lovely daughters, Samantha Caasi, Yvanna Vien, Pia Janaea, and Emmanuelle Reigne. He enjoys spending quality time with his family as well as playing sports like basketball, volleyball, table tennis, and chess.

Milton and Cynthia Massie
Chicago
Milton Massie and his wife Cynthia have been ministering on the Southside of Chicago since 1980. Milton currently serves on the executive team of Cru Inner City and also as a shepherding, governing and teaching elder of a church he helped to plant in 1999. Milton is a bridge and prophetic voice to help the church live out God’s heart for the poor, to build up believers into mature faith through discipleship in the church, and to challenge the body of Christ to intentionally address the realities of systemic injustice using the Bible and the life of Jesus as the source of authority. Milton and Cynthia have been married for 34 years and been co-laborers in God’s work since 1986. They have two adult children, Zach and Sarah.
George Janvier
Nigeria
When George Janvier first went to Nigeria in 1985 as missionary, he thought it might be for two years.
“But after being there for a few weeks,” he says, “I sensed that Nigeria was where God wanted me to be. I was committed to making a long-term difference in Africa.”
Now, forty years later, the approximately fifteen hundred students and church planters he has discipled and launched are extending God’s Kingdom throughout war-torn Nigeria, West Africa, and beyond. They are leading significant ministries as pastors, missionaries, Bible teachers, and leaders in Christian ministries.
