In September, MB Biblical Seminary’s Ministry Quest program received a grant from Lilly Endowment Inc. that will allow it to continue its mission of calling out, developing, and training young leaders through at least 2011.
The new matching grant of $600,000 requires the seminary to raise an equal amount toward the program.
Ministry Quest was founded in 2002 through two grants from the Lilly Endowment. In its first four years, the program walked 148 young men and women from the U.S. and Canada through a one-year program that includes two retreats, ministry opportunities in their home congregations, and mentoring by mature Christians.
According to John Neufeld, coach for emerging leaders for the Canadian MB Conference, who initiated the program and developed the proposal that led to the current round of funding, the latest grant “recognizes programs that have matured and are demonstrating impact but are not yet financially self-supporting.”
