We are thrilled to announce that World Outspoken has been selected to receive a Capacity Building Grant from Leadership Education at Duke Divinity in partnership with Asociación para la Educación Teológica Hispana (AETH). Capacity Building Grants offer Christian institutions resources to strengthen their current organizational capacities and build new ones in a yearlong project.

Leadership Education aims to create lasting change in U.S. congregations by supporting Christian leaders and the institutions they serve. They design educational services, develop intellectual resources, and facilitate networks of institutions that cultivate a coherent vision of Christian institutional leadership and form Christian leaders. Leadership Education is an initiative of Duke Divinity School funded by Lilly Endowment Inc. and based in Durham, N.C.

AETH's mission is to promote excellent and pertinent theological education of Hispanic/Latino/a leaders in their service to the church and the world. AETH recognizes and affirms the valuable work that Bible Institutes and other theological entities undertake in preparing pastors and lay leaders for the work of ministry within Hispanic/Latino/a churches.

We will announce more details about our project later this Spring, but for now you can expect it to relate to the Mestizo Podcast. Again, we are honored to be among the recipients of this prestigious award, and look forward to increasing our support of the mestizo church.
