Miracle Sunday is a global, connectional effort to create an endowment for theological education outside the US in Africa, Europe, and the Philippines with the goal of endowing 500 scholarships in perpetuity ensuring that courageous, well-prepared leaders can serve in some of the most challenging missional communities around the world.
Did you know that fewer than 5% of pastors outside the US hold a master’s degree in theology, compared to more than 71% within the US? Or that the US has 13 United Methodist approved seminaries while outside the US, there are 20. Further, the US has 1.2 billion dollars already in endowments and Ministerial Education Funds within these US seminaries. This is a gap we must and can address. Churches participating in Miracle Sunday will provide the funds to educate, equip, and empower pastors, create peace builders around the globe, raise up leaders who will do kingdom work in the midst of world wide politics. This is a sharing of resources to support those called, support the growth of the Christian church, and develop leaders together because no one person can do it alone. Thank you for giving generously.
