Beth & Harry Osland

We have been serving in Portugal since late 1989, teaching, training, preaching and holding leadership seminars.  In 2005 God opened doors for us to minister in Angola (a large Portuguese-speaking nation in Africa) where we have been actively ministering, helping to train the more than 10,000 church leaders who have not had opportunities to be adequately trained in Bible and theology.  As a result, in 2012 we co-founded, along with AG missionary Dr. Carl Gibbs, the Angola Assemblies of God Theological College (FATAD).  Harry serves as the Reitor (General Director) of FATAD school which has grown to 620 BA level students studying on two campuses 420 miles apart.  Beth serves as Registrar and oversees academic and student records.  We finished construction of both facilities, officiating at the two dedication ceremonies where the ownership was transferred to the national leadership of the Assemblies of God-Angola.  We will transfer leadership responsibilities for the schools to the newly appointed Angolan director, Rev. Alberto D'Alva Teixeira, and his staff, at the November 2023 graduation ceremony.  Our future ministry will continue to be with AGWM, serving as consultants and mentors during the transitional period, as well as teaching in our colleges, as well as spearheading the translation of the Africa's Hope Discovery Series Bible curriculum into Portuguese.
