Adoniram Judson Scholarship
The Adoniram Judson Scholarship is designed to support our international students who are called to proclaim the gospel outside of North America. This scholarship provides the necessary textbooks and resources our students need to complete their studies as they prepare to bring the good news of Jesus Christ to unreached people around the world.
​
Adoniram Judson (1788–1850) was one of the first American missionaries to Burma (modern-day Myanmar). He devoted nearly four decades of his life to translating the Bible into Burmese, establishing churches, and sharing the gospel with those who had never heard it. Judson endured immense hardship, including imprisonment, sickness, and the loss of loved ones, yet remained steadfast in his mission. His deep concern for the lost is reflected in these words:
"We cannot sit still and see the dear Burmans, flesh and blood like ourselves and, like ourselves, possessed of immortal souls that will shine forever in heaven or burn forever in hell - we cannot see them go down to perdition without doing our very utmost to save them. And thanks be to God, our labors are not in vain."
