Wilbur P. Stone, Ph.D., is the lead faculty in the M.A.G.C.S. program. Following 15 years of pastoral ministry, Stone became involved in overseas cross-cultural ministry in 1990. His primary ministry locations were Hong Kong (1990-1994) and Malaysia (1997-2002), but his ministries also involved working with existing churches and church leaders in other locations such as Macau, the People’s Republic of China, Taiwan, Thailand, the Philippines, New Zealand, and Singapore. His ministry involvements included strategy coordinator and team leader for an urban team in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia; adjunct lecturer, teaching a variety of courses (primarily missions-related) at seminaries in Malaysia and Singapore and serving as the director of a seminary extension program; conducting seminars; church planting; ministry to migrants (both in-country and foreign); ministry to drug addicts; ministry to the urban poor; and serving as the mission administrator and treasurer in Hong Kong. These ministries allowed him to work with people from a variety of ethnic, linguistic, and socio-economic backgrounds as well as to experience varied ministries in major urban settings.
