Five Students Awarded Scholarships by Betty Peters


Each year the Commission on Education has the privilege of choosing recipients for the Christian Ministry Scholarships. We are thankful to be able to award the 2019 scholarships to five young people from across our Fellowship. Please remember these students (and all students) in your prayers throughout the coming year that God may bless their efforts to further their Christian education for future kingdom ministry.

FEBC Scholarship Fund For 50 years the Fellowship has offered scholarships to


students preparing for Christian ministry and to missionaries and pastors engaged in continuing education. In 1984, the schol- arship fund received a bequest of CA$67,000 from the Sarah Willems estate. Other bequests and convention offerings have increased the Scholarship Trust Fund to almost $173,000. Only the income on this fund is used for scholarships. Since 1969, approximately $269,500 has been awarded to students. Over 200 students and Christian workers have received scholarships since 1991. Recent low interest rates have limited the number of schol- arships — this year only five scholarships could be offered.


Te Fellowship continues to welcome contributions and


estate giſts to this fund. You can help train the next generation of pastors and global workers.
