Northwestern students to serve over summer

Nineteen Northwestern College students will spend their summers as short-term missionaries through the college’s Summer of Service (SOS) program. They will spend at least six weeks volunteering with mission agencies in 10 countries: Bolivia, Fiji, Greece, Haiti, India, Ireland, Peru, Philippines, Spain and the United States.

The students will assist physicians, teachers and other missionaries in hospitals, orphanages and refugee camps that are overfull with people displaced from the Middle East and other volatile areas. They will teach English, deliver community health programs, and provide education and vocational training to sex-trade victims with ministries such as Rahab’s Rope and the Luke Society.

Since 1981, Northwestern College’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.
