Forty FortyScholarship
Celebrating those who love Jesus and are making a difference in the world today.
The heart behind it
Encouraging the calling God has given you.
This program was created to recognize those that love Jesus and are making a difference in the world today. We feel that many Christ Followers who are out making disciples and exemplifying His name are not being rewarded or even recognized enough.
Although we know many of our rewards will be in Heaven, we want to bless as many as we can on earth for being leaders and following the calling He has for you.
We hope this can help out those who want to pursue a Christ-Centered Business, a college degree that will strengthen your faith walk or pursue the talents God has given you, or even someone looking to join the mission field.
Although we appreciate all those going across seas to spread the good news, we’d like to save this scholarship for those doing mission work in the United States at this time. This year we are also taking applications for those that just have a need and could use some financial help.
