Asbury Seminary staff members, Christine Johnson, Mathieu Gnonhossou and Brian Yeich were selected as John Wesley Fellows for 2010.

Each year A Foundation for Theological Education (AFTE) awards up to five John Wesley Fellowships to assist gifted United Methodists in their doctoral studies at the finest institutions. Candidates are selected for their commitment to Christ and the church as well as for their academic excellence.

Fellowships are usually given for four years. At present, the average fellowship grant is $10,000 per academic year. With approximately 12 Fellows in the program at any one time, AFTE spends nearly $120,000 each year on direct grants.
