Equipping emerging Christian Leaders to shape their nation and the world for Christ
We train Pastors and Leaders to grow the church in their countries; and equip Scholar-Leaders with a PhD to shape their nation and the world for Christ.

Why Invest in Students and Scholars?
There can be few greater causes than training leaders for the church, equipping and teaching individuals who will emerge as resourceful, indigenous Christian leaders in their context.
By supporting Christian leaders to become equipped to lead, the majority world church is assured of a steady flow of Biblically grounded pastors, evangelists and church planters. On graduation, students not only know their local culture, but are able to minister for decades after their training, supported by their local church.
Student Sponsorship
With student sponsorship there is an opportunity to get to know each other and pray for one another. Sponsors will receive a photo and occasional reports from the student, along with their academic progress, and be able to see the impact of their investment in the life of the student.
Ideally the sponsorship continues till the student graduates, but support can be ended at any time by contacting our office.

- Students come from colleges which Beacon Partnerships has an existing working relationship with, and has endorsed as evangelical, integrated into the wider church, well run, and strategic.
