7/7/22 – Thank you for your partnership with this Scholarship Fund! Here is the story of one of the scholarship recipients from Rev Dr Roger Kemp, the scholarship coordinator: “On 4 June, Ben graduated with a MA in Christian Leadership from Africa Bible College, Malawi. His studies took 3 years and was made possible by the generous donations of Australian Baptists through the Baptist Mission Australia scholarship fund. His course cost almost $7,000.
Ben is now a pastor and part-time lecturer at the Baptist Theological Seminary of Malawi situated in Lilongwe. BTSM is where Baptist Mission Australia intercultural team members, Gary and Shirley are based.
The scholarship fund is currently providing scholarships for five other students at BTSM – all doing a Bachelor of Theology degree. It costs $1,100 per year to maintain those students at BTSM.”
This is an incredible opportunity to invest in the global church, enabling leaders to be trained to teach and build faith communities among their own people groups. The project provides scholarship funds to assist leaders to receive further education in countries such as Bangladesh, India, Zambia and Zimbabwe.
There are currently 11 study scholarships we are looking to cover $35,000 in 2022-2024:
