Ten Northwestern students to participate in summer missions

Ten Northwestern College students will spend a portion of their summers as short-term missionaries through the college’s Summer of Service (SOS) program. They will spend three to 11 weeks volunteering with mission agencies in Alaska, Colorado, Illinois and Haiti.

Students will work with inner-city youth, lead Bible studies, teach English, provide manual labor, assist in a health clinic, evangelize and organize camps. They’ll assist organizations including Echo Ranch Bible Camp, Pioneers, Salvation Army and Many Hands for Haiti.

Since 1981, Northwestern’s SOS program has encouraged and prepared students to be effective Christian servants around the world. Team members raise their own funds through the support of family, friends and their churches.
