Churches: Partner With Us & Invest in Christian Leaders
Dear Pastors and Board Chairs, According to research from Rick Hiemstra of the Evangelical Fellowship of Canada, we will need 625 new leaders per year for the next 10 years just to keep up with pastoral retirement attrition1 – and that only accounts for senior leaders. What does that mean for the future of Kingdom ministries? We believe we can meet that need – and there are three ways you can help! 1. Your church can provide for us financially. Whereas public colleges and universities are funded by governments, and [...]

Am I really using my Bible Schooling?
In "ministry" or not, what you learned in Bible college makes a difference. At some point, almost every post-secondary alumni will ask themselves, "Am I really using my schooling?"
