Great news to share. Throughout the month of October, we have been raising awareness about the work made possible by the Rev. Alton and Ethel Wheeler Leadership Development Fund (SDB Emerging Leaders Updates).
We have also been undertaking a campaign to invite ministry partners to give financial gifts to further the work of the leadership development fund. The financial gifts throughout the month of October were matched by the SDB Memorial Board, dollar for dollar.
Generous givers who partnered in the work of equipping and missionally sending young SDB leaders surpassed our dream for this campaign. Over $25,000 was given to this fund during the month of October. That means, with the Memorial Board match, over $50,000 has been raised for SDB Leadership Development.
Thank you.
The Rev. Alton L. and Ethel Wheeler Leadership Development Fund has been created in memory of a ministry couple who shaped, equipped, and mobilized a significant number of SDB leaders. The Fund will be used to prepare our current and next generations of SDB ministry leaders. What an opportunity we have in this season of ministry!
