From generation to generation, the church must call out and grow new leaders if it is to fulfill its ongoing mission in the world. God is raising up many new leaders right now. They are already making a difference, yet they need further training.
Training national leaders is critical for the development of Mennonite Brethren conferences. The Mennonite Brethren have schools for different levels of studies all over the world, in many different languages.
Many do not have the finances for formal education. The Global Scholarship Fund is an endowment fund that disburses annual earnings to assist applicants from the Mennonite Brethren global family.
There is tremendous potential now to grow the Global Scholarship Fund for the future. Find out how you can come along side your Mennonite Brethren family members and donate to the scholarship fund.
