The program's goal is to nurture communities and leaders in holistic, authentic, and transformative forms of living out the Kingdom of God and God's justice in the Latin American context. It provides students the opportunity to examine their work and vocation, family life, their place in society, and their participation in the community of faith in light of God's word, Church history, theology, and social sciences. At a postgraduate level, CETI continued to offer an online master's program in "Transformational Leadership" in conjunction with Bakke Graduate University. A total of 21 students were enrolled in the master's courses throughout the year. At a popular level, CETI offers two certification programs in Vida&Misión (Life&Mission) and Contracorriente (Countercurrent). We had around 373 students enrolled in these programs throughout 2023, spread between the following countries: Argentina, Brazil, Bolivia, Ecuador, Honduras, El Salvador, and the USA. 7173 0 0 Academic Projects: Academic projects include writing and publications in areas related to the organization's mission and participation in consultations and research on important topics of mission in the world today. INFEMIT particularly seeks to support the work of younger leaders in this area. In 2023, INFEMIT began hosting regular "community conversations" which provide space to learn about and discuss the work of members of our global community. We also began the academic research and reflection process that culminates in the Stott-Bediako Forum, preparing for the forum in 2024 (this includes 7 young scholar-practitioners from different regions of the world). INFEMIT also continued to highlight the work of global scholar-practitioners through content in multimedia formats online through our newsletter, social media, and website. 4358 0 4564 Regional Support: The organization provides support to partner organizations and regional fellowships in the form of speakers or participants' travel to regional consultations and small membership fees. We also seek to nurture cross-regional dialogue and exchange. In 2023, INFEMIT continued our initiative to connect groups of theologian-practitioners from around the globe in monthly online fellowship. In addition to this, we started hosting online conversations on diverse topics with global participants. We participated in preparations for the 4th Global Congress of the Lausanne Movement and in events such as the Global Pentecostal Summit and the American Society of Missiology Annual Meeting. We contributed to several publications throughout the year, and we continued to strengthen our network of partnerships by regularly curating a newsletter with information about our partners. 1573 0 340 Stott-Bediako: The Stott-Bediako events are short conferences and consultations on issues of the gospel and mission. In 2023, INFEMIT held a consultation on the topic: "Transformation Revisited: Mission and Gospel Imagination" in anticipation of the forum to be held in 2024. The consultation was held online with 17 core contributors who were preparing presentations for the plenary sessions of the forum. The consultation permitted contributors to prepare their research and ideas ahead of time, give and receive feedback, and continue honing the presentations before the main event. 0 0 0 Faith and Life is a curriculum development program that shares a model for theological formation "from and for life" that can be adapted and used by organizations or churches in different regions. Regionally diverse programs are created and contextualized that form church and community leaders to practice mission as transformation in their contexts. In 2023, the Faith and Life program continued to be used in master's and doctoral level programs on "Faith and Public Life" at the University of Arad in Romania. The goal of the Faith and Life program is to identify and accompany regional and local leaders through the process of creating contextually appropriate theological formation programs that encourage the doing of theology "from and for life." 1573 0 340 162505 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 2 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 8 8 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 X Victoria Greaves 9096098277 1446 Augusta Dr Upland CA 91786 X Francisco Al Tizon President 1 0 X X 0 0 0 James Padilla DeBorst Secretary 1 0 X X 0 0 0 Amanda Kaminski Vice Chair 0.5 0 X X 0 0 0 Anton Deik Director 1 0 X 0 0 0 Gregory Leffel Director 0.25 0 X 0 0 0 Seblewengel Daniel Director 0.5 0 X 0 0 0 Prajakta David Director 0.25 0 X 0 0 0 Nikki Toyama-Szeto Treasurer 0.5 0 X 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 170991 0 170991 CETI - Community for Interdisciplinary Theological Studies 611310 45605 45605 0 0 Young theologian educational opportunities 611000 3612 3612 0 0 Conference/ meeting services 561920 1252 1252 0 0 Journal of Latin American Theology Representative 541840 40 40 0 0 0 0 0 0 50509 351 351 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 221851 50860 0 0 X 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 17897 0 17897 0 0 0 0 0 1100 0 1100 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 120039 120039 0 0 8 8 0 0 350 301 49 0 3260 2788 472 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 5281 5281 0 0 0 0 0 0 32351 31414 937 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 Bank fees 1743 1655 88 0 Membership fees 500 500 0 0 Books 190 190 0 0 Courses 29 29 0 0 300 300 0 0 183048 162505 20543 0 655 800 118627 157285 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 119282 158085 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 57368 44077 61914 114008 119282 158085 119282 158085 38803 0 0 0 0 0 X 1 X 0 1 0 X 60828 101166 142829 166774 170991 642588 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 60828 101166 142829 166774 170991 642588 158362 484226 166 103 83 144 351 847 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 643435 182286 0.75256 0.76620 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED South America 0 7 Program Services Religious conferences; Religious education and resources 77301 Central America and the Caribbean 0 5 Program Services Religious education and resources 55894 Europe (including Iceland and Greenland) 0 1 Program Services Editing and publishing academic papers 1337 North America (including Canada and Mexico, but not the United States) 0 0 Program Services Religious education 213 Sub-Saharan Africa 0 0 Program Services Religious educational resources 200 0 13 134945 0 0 0 0 0 0 Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11b The 990 is reviewed by a member of the Board and sent to the other board members before filing.
