Students participate in summer missions
Monday, June 20, 2005
Twenty-six Northwestern College students are spending their summer on short-term mission experiences as members of the college’s Summer of Service (SOS) team.
Each student is spending at least six weeks overseas or in the U.S., serving with Christian missionaries and mission agencies that match their gifts, interests and theology.
Team members will be assisting in arts and Bible camps, orphanages, churches, schools, health clinics and hospitals with ministries such as Pioneers International, Save Orphans Ministries, The Luke Society and World Relief.
The students are traveling to 19 different countries including Argentina, Austria, Bolivia, Brazil, China, England, Ghana, Guatemala, Honduras, Italy, Jamaica, Japan, Kenya, Malawi, Mexico, Romania, South Africa, the Netherlands and the United States.
For 23 years, Northwestern College’s SOS program has challenged, prepared and encouraged students to be effective Christian servants. Team members raise their own funds through the support of family, friends and their churches; this year’s team raised $90,000.
