Study Abroad programs
Are you considering going into the field of missions? If so, you may want to try a study abroad program to test your sense of adventure, your adaptability, and your willingness to move outside of your comfort zone.
Mission trips
Many colleges and universities offer opportunities to go on mission trips or service projects. If you've never experienced the incredible satisfaction of serving others in this way, try it. Nothing beats the gratitude and thankfulness of those you have served.
Lutheran College Fairs
Too late to think about attending a Lutheran college?
NEVER!
