*Medical Missions

The Medical Missions program helps students develop the social skills and practical application of functional health and missionary practices to help serve those in need. Students in this program may be interested in serving international ministries, underserved people groups, or overseas medical missionary teams. A medical mission is a natural expression of agape love, the defining attribute of a Christian. In his letter to Gaius, 3 John 2, John says, “Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers.” The goal of medical missions is this same homeostasis in spirit and body, a deeper experience of grace and mercy that enables teams to care for people’s emotional and spiritual needs on the physical level. This is a spiritual and social bridge that helps prepare people for heaven while helping live fruitful and productively on earth. Students learn the missionary “language,” posture, and practices that help provide relational and spiritual support to less fortunate or less advanced cultures.
