 Hello, my name is David Bouchardt, President of Anabaptist Mennonite Biblical Seminary. In all of the places I have traveled around the world this past year, the message has remained the same. Leadership matters, and AMBS is needed. In the summer of 2021, we started asking church leaders this focused question, what is the most meaningful thing that AMBS can do to support current and future leaders or the church? Answers to that question are changing the way that we are educating leaders here at AMBS. As 2022 comes to a close, I invite you to be one of 22 donors who helped to position AMBS to respond to the leadership needs of the church in Canada, the US, and around the world. Your gift of any size will strengthen our ability to educate leaders for God's reconciling mission in the world. Thank you for your consideration, and may your remaining days of 2022 be filled with the peace of Christ, and may the new life we have in and through Jesus renew you in hope for the coming year.
