Our Primary Interests and Focus
 

















Rivendell Stewards' Trust in general prefers to invest in people-focused innovative ministry ventures in the Two Thirds World.

1. Leadership Development
In order to meet the need for equipped and capable leadership in the Two Thirds World, we partner with learning institutions, scholarship ministries and leadership development organizations to meet the financial costs associated with pursuing an advanced degree (M.A., M.Div., Ph.D.) or professional training for Christian service in the region or country of origin.

  i. Advanced Degrees in Missiology, Theology, Biblical Studies
  ii. Pastoral/Lay Leader Development and Training

2. Evangelism
While evangelism takes a multitude of forms and expressions, we seek to partner with those organizations and ministries that share our interests outlined below:

  i. Led and initiated by national leadership
  ii. Creative and biblically sound contextualization
  iii. Focus on interpersonal rather than mass evangelism
  iv. Connected with social concern and micro-economic development when appropriate
  v. Developing the potential in children - the future generations

3. Retired Missionaries
Funding is for missionaries who have served over 20 years in Christian service overseas. Grants are awarded for the lifetime of the retired missionary and administered primarily through retirement institutions.

  i. Mission agency-run retirement communities
  ii. Individual retired missionaries
