Scholarship Class: 2020

Seminary Location: Pasadena, CA

“My hope is to serve overseas in ministry with Muslims and Believers from Muslim Backgrounds. This passion was sparked for me from a young age during my childhood in Kenya. While our primary ministry was with the Kikuyu and Masai people that we lived in proximity with, we also came in contact with a large population of Muslims, as they were drawn to the hospital on our station. I became fascinated by their beliefs and devotion to Allah, and found it so tragic that such dedication and spiritual passion was misdirected. Over the years, throughout my personal studies, college years, and seminary classes, my desire to serve as a witness to the Muslim world has continued to grow, and I am currently prayerfully exploring options to invest in the Muslim world to some capacity in the future once I conclude my studies.”

Scholarship Class: 2021

Seminary Location: Chattanooga, TN

“My hope is to serve: God first, by listening to His Shepherding voice on how He is working in the City. Right now, one of the greatest needs that He is presenting to me is in the care and shepherding of those in ministry, particularly young women and those who work with youth. It is often the case that those who serve in ministry often have few “safe spaces” to be honest about their lives and are on the verge of burnout. By coming alongside these ministers of the Gospel, my hope is that they can have healthy, vibrant ministries that honor and elevate Christ well. “
