Our Goal
Investing in
the future of the church
The Dave and Judy Mast Foundation was formed with a desire to help Gospel Centered churches flourish in America. Dave and Judy Mast came to faith in Christ as adults in a church that has embraced and proclaimed the gospel of Christ with clarity and conviction. It is their desire to invest in the education of those that will lead these types of churches in the future. Therefore, the Dave and Judy Mast Foundation has targeted two outstanding Christian Seminaries, Phoenix Seminary and Talbot School of Theology at Biola, as partners in this endeavor.
We will fund full-tuition scholarships to these institutions for students who show outstanding promise as leaders. In order to receive a scholarship from this foundation the students will be required to meet with a mentor, the Pastor Paul Robie, for individual and group discussions. The role of Pastor Robie is seen as essential to the goals of the Foundation. He understands and has embodied the kind of ministry that the Foundation wishes to promote.


Qualifications
We are seeking individuals that possess these characteristics
01
Gospel Driven
We are committed to the Gospel. It is important that we invest in those that understand, can articulate, and promote the Gospel (see the link to What Is
A Gospel Centered Church).
02
Humility
We are looking for men and women that subscribe to the axiom, “It’s not about me.” If
you understand that self-forgetfulness is the key to ministry joy, then please apply.
03
Diligent
We are results oriented and expect those that we invest in to be committed to building the Kingdom, and not just living in it. We believe that grace is opposed to earning, not effort. Therefore, we will ask your supervisor if you are a hard worker.
04
Smart
IQ is a good thing but not the ultimate thing that we mean by the word smart. We are looking for exceptionally high EQ people - those with unusual emotional intelligence. We know that success in the ministry often comes through those that are gifted in self-awareness, empathy and the ability to
self-manage.
05
Healthy
We are looking for people who bring their best self to the opportunity to represent Christ in the ministry. If you are healthy spiritually, emotionally, physically (disabilities aside), relationally, and financially, you are a good candidate for this scholarship.
06
Authentic
If you receive this scholarship you will be meeting regularly with a mentor (Paul Robie) and others who are in this program. No one wants to spend time with someone who is faking it or someone who just can’t be genuine in the way they interact with others.
