Missions

Missions allow students to develop a deeper understanding of God’s love for all people of the world.聽聽The nature of these experiences–interaction with other cultures, reflection, discussion, and service — produce a teachable arena where a student’s ideology and understanding of scripture come face to face with the world.聽 In that place the compassion of Jesus can be learned; the Kingdom of God can be recognized, and a lifestyle of mission and servanthood can be developed.

See below for a description of Missions Learning Opportunities. Applications can be picked up in the Spiritual Life Department located on the 2nd floor of the MD Anderson Student Center (right above the HCU 聽Bookstore)
