TRAIN TO BE A PASTORAL LEADER
MB Foundation is providing up to $50,000 per year to provide scholarships for young adults who are preparing for MB ministry. Leadership development happens at USMB Leadership Pipeline, Tabor College, Fresno Pacific University, Multiply, FaithFront, in the local church, through internships and through many other types of programs.
LeadGen offers three progressively increasing scholarship levels. Each scholarship level requires increasing levels of commitment. Scholarship money is granted as necessary to meet the needs of the applicant. Annual reapplication is required, though preference will be given to those that have already been receiving scholarships. Applications will be processed in the order they are received. Funds are available until the annual allotment is depleted.
An Awards Committee has been formed to vet the applications and determine award levels. The Committee consists of Wendell Loewen, Don Morris, Roxanna Petersen, Anthony Lind and Jon Wiebe. All communication is to be directed to the Committee via MB Foundation.
