Nineteen percent of the students studying on Christendom College’s Front Royal, Va., campus will do missionary work during their spring break this year. The college’s robust annual mission trips program will send out 66 students, along with members of the faculty and staff, on four different mission trips across the globe.
“These mission trips are so important for not only the people we serve, but our students as well,” Mission Trips Program Director Mike Brown says. “The trips are often life-changing for the students. They encounter Christ through their service and their worldview is broadened at the same time.”
Each student is responsible for raising the funds to go on their respective mission trips, which are often life-changing experiences.
Besides the missionary trips offered during academic break, students assist those in need on a local level through the student club Outreach. The club visits nursing homes, works at soup kitchens, sponsors canned food drives, as well as volunteers at the local Crisis Pregnancy Center. Throughout the year students respond to their school’s motto, “to restore all things in Christ,” and sacrifice their free time for those in need.
