Mission is increasingly global in nature, and many countries in the majority world need well-trained leaders who will help to develop infrastructures, as well as people who can preach and teach in churches. Key challenges also include the need for church planting, evangelism, improved medical services, sustainable systems in agriculture, improvement in education and Bible teaching, as well as a wide range of social and justice issues.
One of the ways Redcliffe supports global mission is through offering
training to emerging leaders from the church in developing nations. Many
of these receive help from our Strategic Leadership Fund, and the majority of these students return to their own
countries to work.
Between 40%-50% of our student community each year are international - from Asia, Eastern Europe, Latin America and Africa as well as Western Europe and North America. The Strategic Leadership Fund enables this next generation of leaders to be equipped for mission, evangelism, education, development and church planting work in the future. To ensure that the student’s faith is stretched in this process, we normally only offer grants in the region of 50% of their total fees from the fund.
We are grateful for the gifts of many individuals that enabled the College to support fifteen students in 2010/11 and we would like to offer the opportunity for vital training to a similar or greater number in 2011/12.

How, then, can they call on the one they have not
believed in? And how
can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can
they hear without someone preaching to them? and how can they preach
unless they are sent? As it is written, ‘how beautiful are the feet of
those who bring good news 
Rom 10:14-15
