Application for Malawi Reformation Network Scholarship and Internship

MRN is Reformed network that seeks to promote the growth and multiplication of sound Reformed churches in Malawi, Africa through the gospel ministry of godly and well-trained men. To accomplish our vision we are focusing on three areas:

Reformed theological education
Reformed pastoral training/internship
Reformed church planting

MRN is currently searching for young men who sense God’s call to serve as church planters and pastors in Malawi. We are looking for young men who meet the qualifications of an elder in 1 Timothy 3 and Titus 1. These young men should have at least a Bachelor of Arts in Biblical Studies or Theology from a Reformed or an Evangelical college. Successful applicants will be given a scholarship and coverage of living expenses to study for a Master of Arts in Theology (MA) at Puritan Reformed Theological Seminary (PRTS) or other Reformed seminaries in the USA while doing a pastoral internship at University Reformed Church in East Lansing Michigan. Upon the completion of the studies, these men would be expected to return to Malawi and plant a Reformed church, which will be part of a new confessional Presbyterian denomination in Malawi. For more details on the MA studies please visit this link. Details of the internship can be found here.
