Master's Program Scholarships Provide Greater Purpose
When a member of our military is deployed, they sacrifice everything for our country.  These brave men and women are heroes who preserve our way of life.  From the remote mountains of Afghanistan, to the concrete jungles of Syria, you will find our military fighting to preserve life, liberty and freedom. 

Our Barnabas Group ("TBG") family considers it an honor to support our military.  One of the many ways that our members show their support is by providing Soldiers, Marines, Sailors and Airmen with scholarships to The Master's Program ("TMP").  The scholarship program is aptly named the Adopt a Soldier Program.

Many of our military's men and women who return home from deployment find it very difficult to acclimate back into regular life.  They have spent years working for a cause greater than themselves, and therefore often loose their sense of purpose.  TMP helps these amazing men and women realize that their lives still have a greater purpose.  Throughout the three year program, they will discover their unique Kingdom Calling and potential Kingdom significance.

Phil Brown of The Master's Program stated the following about their Adopt a Soldier Program:

" Most of the soldiers being sponsored are combat veterans with multiple deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan.  They are "our boots on the street."  These soldiers are extremely appreciative for the opportunity to attend The Master's Program on a full scholarship.  They cannot believe that a total stranger would express this kind of gratitude to them in such a meaningful way."
