Christian ministry scholarships
According to the Got Questions Ministries website, "ministry" derives from the Greek word "diakoneo," or "to serve" in English. (See References 1) Today, Christian ministries are dedicated to helping those less fortunate than others. They do this by setting an example for other Christians. To help them do their work, Christian Ministries provide other ministries with several scholarships and grants each year.
