Heavenly Father is moving in Higher Education in East Asia. Many Christian leaders realize that international Christian university degrees are needed for the church in East Asia to be successful in impacting the unreached nations through business and ministry. The two must become one.
The Director of Development will fundraise with the goal of providing scholarships towards 33% of tuition costs:
1) Emerging E. Asian young adult leaders
2) International teachers who are on local salaries that don't allow them to save enough to get their MA or PhD to continue their teaching ministry in Asia.
3) Non-believing Teachers who would never get a Christian education without a partial scholarship.
In 5 years time the goal is to provide 730 scholarships which will enable dozens of Christian schools to send teams of teachers to unevangelized countries in East Asia to prepare for the generation of cross-cultural business missionaries to go West on their Mission to impact whole 10-40 Window.
