Summertime is fast approaching and Loma Linda University’s Students for International Mission Service (SIMS) has several exciting trips going out this year.
These trips allow for students to actively participate in global mission service while attending Loma Linda University. By providing humanitarian service to communities throughout the world, SIMS’ team trips enable students to develop cultural competency in an international setting by exposing them to health care systems and delivery in countries where resources and medical supplies are extremely limited.
Trips available this summer:
June 17- July 2, 2015
SIMS is excited to be returning to Malamulo Adventist Hospital in Malawi. This site serves as a Loma Linda University international field station, and it is one of the oldest Seventh-day Adventist mission hospitals, celebrating its centennial anniversary this year. While participating in this trip, students will have the opportunity to contribute to long-term development of the community by visiting clinics, holding health fairs, leading out in vacation Bible school and more.

On this trip, SIMS will partner with Social Action Volunteers of the Amazon (ASVAM), a non-profit that will facilitate connecting with local Brazilians while reconstructing a church building that was built in 1985. In addition to the construction renovation, trip participants will help in leading vacation Bible school, providing health fairs and leading worship in the local villages.
