Mexico monthly mission trip

In the 1960s a small group of medical students and faculty began visiting and worshiping with members from a Seventh-day Adventist Church in Mexico on Sabbath to build relationships with them. In April 1991, the first primary care services were provided in the town's clinic. The mission has grown to include participants from all schools of the University and other universities. Your weekend activities begin with an orientation meeting.
