HEARTFIRE desires to give those who say, “Lord, send me” every opportunity to go and share the Gospel with a hurting world. We also understand that finances may occasionally be a hindrance for someone to go on a mission trip. The Selah Eni (Hebrew for “Send me”) Scholarship has been created specifically to assist those who feel called to get out on the mission field for the select purpose of sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Because we believe Jesus’ final words to ‘go and make disciples of all nations’ weren’t merely a suggestion, but a command, recipients of this scholarship will be expected to disciple those who God brings into their path, as well as to ‘pay it forward’ by assisting future mission participants with their fundraising needs.
