I am especially grateful to our beloved sponsor from overseas, who has helped us to learn theology well at this great school. … MEGST is really needed to help those who want to learn theology in a difficult area like ours.

Support future Christian Leaders in Papua New Guinea, Thailand and Myanmar
Committing to sponsoring a student scholarship only costs about $3,000 per year. This is a fraction of what it would cost in Western seminaries. By contributing towards students, you are helping future leaders of the Asia-Pacific church fulfil their call to shepherd God’s people in their local community. This is an investment with long-term multiplication effects for the kingdom.
Students are carefully chosen from Bible colleges that Beacon Partnerships has an existing working relationship with, they are among the most financially needy and have proven to be of good character and leadership potential.
What sponsors can expect
After matching, sponsors will receive a bio and photo of the student they have matched with.
Sponsors will also receive a yearly update from the student, as well as a statement of intent upon graduation.
Ideally the sponsorship continues till the student graduates, but support can be ended at any time by contacting our office.
If you would like to commit to sponsoring a future leader, get in touch or express your interest in the form below
