Ministry Development Fund

About six years ago, Norman Lindsay and I met in the District Office's Board Room and began what would eventually become the District's Ministry Development Fund, or MDF. It involved capping one fund, rolling over assets, and combining others to produce an endowment fund that is now casting off thousands of dollars each year for ministry.

Each October the Finance Committee reviews grant applications which are ranked according to priority guidelines, which have been created for the MDF. This application is a one page document that can be downloaded from the District's web site. The Finance Committee then forwards it's priority list to the October Presbytery. The Presbyters will review the recommendations, edit the priorities and amounts if they see fit, and then approve the final list for distribution.

At the last meeting of the Presbytery, thousands of dollars were approved for AG ministries for the coming year.

As R. Lee Ermey would say (Mail Call) - "Hu Rah" for the boys and girls in ministry.
