Church planting - this year the foundation was able to support the bozeman reformed baptist church in bozeman montana. (https://bozemanrbc.org) the assistance given (60k) made up close to half of their budgetary needs for the year. The board also approved 50k for 2025 to continue supporting them as they grow and eventually are 100% self-sustaining. The foundation met in october of 2024 to also approve assistance (40k) for fellowship baptist church of sidney montana. This money was needed to pay their new pastor as the church seeks to grow and become self-sustaining in the next 3 years. Being relatively new, the foundation has only approved support for these two churches and the cuban ministry, thus far. There are now multiple works currently under consideration that will be voted on at the start of the new year.

Education support -there are currently two scholarship programs on offer, the phd scholarship and the mdiv scholarship. The phd scholarship program also offers a bridge program to assist otherwise qualified individuals that intend to pursue a phd but need some additional education to complete qualification requirements. So far, we have seen most interest come through the phd program. During 2024 there were 12 applications received, 10 were for phd and 2 were for mdiv. The foundation approved 5 of the applications with 3 still under consideration at the end of the year. There were 5 additional inquiries that have not yet led to an application.the scholarship recipients vary greatly in their field of study, but all show great giftedness. It is our belief that the recipients show genuine promise to be leaders in churches and seminaries and a positive theological influence for many years to come.the total budget for 2024 was $125,000, while approximately $69,000 was expended during the year. For 2025, approximately $75,000 is already committed to approved recipients. Additionally, several applications are still under consideration, and it is our hope that we will see a steady increase…
