The Fiji College of Theology and Evangelism was established by Narayan Nair in 1974. Narayan, who converted from Hinduism to Christianity, had a longtime dream to establish a Bible college in his homeland of Fiji. This dream was conceived from a heartfelt desire to train and equip others to spread the gospel throughout the thousands of South-Pacific islands.
This fully accredited seminary has grown steadily each year.With the focus on teaching and equipping saints to spread the gospel throughout the South Pacific, Narayan implemented two strategies to complement the school's accredited Undergraduate Degree program:A Graduate Program, which offers students with a Bachelor degree the opportunity for higher education without leaving the region.
Correspondence Courses and Off-Campus Programs, which provide flexibility to students unable to live away from home during their studies.
Other training includes Pastor Training Seminars and Deeper Life Conferences for pastors and lay leaders;Mass Evangelistic Events ; s Literature Department snf a Library, funded is the most recent addition to FCTE.
Today, Narayan's original dream has provided training for more than 10,000 men and women. The outflow of FCTE students and their commitment to spread the gospel in their homelands continue to impact large portions of this region.'
