Every academic program should prepare you to think critically, communicate effectively, and engage your world for Jesus Christ. Several departments combine career training and ministry together on an MIS trip.
Host missionaries have found these teams extremely helpful. One example is an engineering team that has improved the quality of electrical power, designed a telephone system, developed an accounting procedure, and much more. In addition to work projects, team members served in a "bush church" service, participated in African Christian church services, and did street evangelism.
