Missions Involvement Services (MIS) pro- vided opportunities for students to reach out to others. Some were general trips, open to all students with the desire to serve Christ by helping people in other parts of the world. Other trips were geared towards specific majors. Last year, nursing majors traveled to Togo, Africa, and engineering majors went to Liberia.Tasks could be basic, repairing and painting facilities or catered toward a specific need. These trips taught students how to adapt to other cultures and relate to other people. It also cultivated a heart for missions and confirmed for many that theywere where God wanted them to be. MIS had been in existence for forty years,and in that span of time,it sent more than six thousand participants to ninety- one countries, including Jamaica, Bahamas, Honduras, Mexico, Australia, England, Germany, Hungary, Indonesia, Israel, Kosovo,Liberia, Middle East,South Africa, Rwanda, Thailand, Togo, and Ukraine. Teams were sent during breaks and in the summertime.Because students had to raise their own funds, it helped them learn to rely on God.They learned that if He wants them to go, He will provide the money. MIS trips also taught the students to work together and to support and encourage each other as they seek to glorify God together. The bonds that were formed on these trips were unlike any others. Students worked together, served God, together, and built memories with each other through MIS trips.
