1999-2000 Annual Report

Service for eternity ...and the World Last year, Missions Involvement Services sent construction, nursing, sports, music, drama, puppets, children’s ministry, and technology teams to 32 countries to minister and spread the gospel. For example, a team of five students took a month-long missions trip to Albania. The team worked with 41 orphans, ages 6 months to 6 years, each day while instructing English classes five days a week for kids ages 5 to 16. The team also painted the orphanage walls, gave personal attention to the children, and engaged the children in drama, music, and crafts. Another team, led by the nursing department’s Dr. Judi Shrubsole, traveled to Thailand, where the four nursing students delivered babies and treated leprosy and AIDS patients. These are but a few examples of the international ministries that more than 225 Cedarville students, faculty, and staff participate in each summer. Puppet ministry is just one of the means by which Cedarville students minister on the international level.
