For the past four years the Advanced Training Fund (ATF) program has been coordinated by Jonathan Hildebrandt. His diligence and attention to detail has been used by the Lord to be a blessing in the lives of many African students. He has given many hours in processing and communicating with those who are involved in the many aspects that eventually lead to a student benefiting from a scholarship grant. His years of service and experience as an AIM missionary ensured the continued and expanding development of the ATF program. Jonathan left this position as of 30 September 2012. We want to express our appreciation to Jonathan for his faithful service.<\/span><\/p>\n

A great blessing to the 2013-2014 African students who received awards was an increased amount of funds available to be used. To the donors to the ATF, you have been a blessing to these students. Two foundations also provided funds to ATF. Mr William Elliot, a retired AIM missionary and a grant writer, was used by the Lord to make this possible. This year marks a significant increase in the number of students who have received assistance. All the sources of donations have resulted in this blessing.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Beginning on 1 October 2012 David Rondeau has taken on the responsibility of serving as the ATF Coordinator. Over the past months he has been learning the various aspects of this position. Like Mr Hildebrandt, he too is a retired AIM missionary. He has served in the Congo, and as a Regional Administrator for the US mobilising region. He has been bless in getting to know about the African students who have applied for assistance for the 2013-14 school year.<\/span><\/p>\n

May the Lord continue to bless and grow this ministry.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The generosity of God\u2019s people, who know the importance of a strong evangelical foundation for the future leadership of the African church, enabled 95 scholarships to be awarded this year. Please join with us in giving praise to God for this wonderful provision and what this means for churches in Africa. Most of the grants were for $2,000. The students being assisted come from a variety of backgrounds.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
