| Introduction | After an exciting couple of decades doing marketing and advertising in the pharmaceuticals industry, I heeded a calling to attend Princeton Theological Seminary and professional ministry. Through a visionary fellowship for recently ordained M.Div. graduates established by the Madison Avenue Presbyterian Church (MAPC) in New York City, I will be serving in Zambia for a year. I am working with an ecumenical partner organization that brings theological education to those who otherwise would be unlikely to receive it. Following that, I'll spend some months traveling throughout the developing world (global South) before returning to NYC to serve at MAPC. This “Global Ministry Fellowship” testifies to MAPC’s understanding of its role in helping fulfill God’s mission in the world. For more information about the fellowship and MAPC please access the church’s website at www.mapc.com. I am grateful to God and to MAPC for this fabulous opportunity. |
