Objectives
This charity
exists “for the benefit of persons of either sex who are, or have been, engaged
in evangelistic work, including retired missionaries or missionaries still
engaged as such or continuing Christian workers”.
Under this
description, grants are awarded to individuals towards their personal living
expenses in undertaking Christian outreach projects, for periods of training
for Christian ministry and outreach and to retired persons whose lives have
included Christian evangelistic work. Under the terms of its original
endowment, the trust is only permitted to support Christian workers from
Protestant denominations.
Applications for Grants
Applications are
suspended until further notice due to lack of available funds and the large
volume of applications received in the period to 30 September 2010.
Applications received by the administrator in the period to 30 September 2010
are still being processed. The decisions
on grants to be awarded will be made known by mid-March 2011. The trustees
apologise to applicants for the delay, which results from the massive number of
applications that have been received.
Following up on Applications
If you indicate
an email address, your application will normally be acknowledged a few days
after arrival and, if funds are available and you appear to qualify for
consideration for a grant, the date of the trust meeting at which it will be
considered will be indicated. You should therefore hear by email no later than
2 weeks after that meeting. If you do not have email, you will be advised by
post.
Trustees’ Discretion
Please note that
the trustees have total discretion in the making of grants and will not enter
into any kind of correspondence or discussion about the reasons awards are made
or refused.
