Prior to missionary service she was Director of Publications at Gordon College in Wenham, MA.
George & Anne served in the Philippines for eleven years.
From 1994 to 2001 George taught at Alliance Biblical Seminary, and then from 2001 to 2005 the Harpers were seconded to the Asia Graduate School of Theology-Philippines.
From 2005 to 2010 the Harpers were seconded to the Evangelical Theological Seminary (ETS), located in Osijek, Croatia. George organized and directed ETS's Ph.D. program and Anne taught courses on missions and spiritual formation.
In 2011 they will return to Manila to take faculty and administrative positions with the Asia Graduate School of Theology-Philippines.
The AGST is a consortium of eight evangelical seminaries, most of them located in metro Manila, that are affiliated with the Asia Theological Association. Its member schools have a combined enrollment of about a thousand. They collaborate to offer advanced degrees like the Th.M., D.Min., D.Miss., Ed.D., and Ph.D. For these programs they draw students not only from their own schools but from across East and South Asia, including closed countries within the "10-40 Window" like Myanmar and Nepal. The AGST is helping to train a new generation of faculty members for Asian seminaries and Bible colleges who will in turn train a new generation of pastors, evangelists, and church workers to serve Asia's rapidly growing Christian community.
