Spiritual Life Mission Trips

Winter Break 2019-2020, Hurricane Relief Mission Trip

During winter break 2019-2020, students engaged in a week of serving and rebuilding the North Carolina Beach area that was affected by Hurricane Matthew. Natural Disaster relief is often a slow building process and takes many years for it to be officially finished. The team worked with the United Methodist Committee on relief doing various construction projects to help rebuild homes of Hurricane Matthew victims.

Medical Mission Trip to Nicaragua / May 2020

 During its annual trip to Leon, Nicaragua, the Shenandoah University  Medical Mission Team will aid the impoverished families living in the  spectacular mountain setting of Leon and Matagalpa. Graduate students in  physician assistant studies and pharmacy serve in one of three rural clinics  run by El Ayudante, a Christian mission organization. They gain clinical  experience by providing medical care for people who would otherwise have  none. They also make friends and learn about the root causes of poverty.
