NEXT MOBILIZATION

Our NEXT Mobilization Team is a group of mobilizers who desire to see all people engaged in God’s mission. They exist to help interns discern where the Lord is calling them to go. They will guide interns through the application, interview, and appointment process to help them determine where they should go to explore who they are in God’s mission.

Invest in building The Wesleyan Church’s Kingdom Force with a donation to the NEXT Scholarship Fund.

There are two categories of NEXT scholarships: one for US and Canadian citizens and the NEXT Everywhere to Everywhere Scholarship for non-US and non-Canadian citizens. Both promote cultural diversity and assist interns with financial need. The vision for the NEXT Scholarship Fund is to create a diverse learning community and invest in future leaders in The International Wesleyan Church.
