APC vespers to focus on missions around the world

Please join in the upcoming Annual Postgraduate Convention (APC) Friday night vespers service featuring Loma Linda University School of Medicine (LLUSM) students and alumni. This special vespers, sponsored by the Alumni Association, LLUSM, will take place March 4 at 7:00 p.m. in the Loma Linda University Church.

This year the theme is, “We’ve a story to tell to the nations,” and the guest speaker will be Chris Oberg, head pastor, La Sierra University Church.

In addition to Oberg, the evening will be filled with diverse stories of missions from future Deferred Mission Appointees (DMAs) and stories of struggle and triumph over devastating circumstances in the mission field.

Here is a sampling of what has been planned for the evening:

  • Interviews with two School of Medicine students in the DMA program: Linden Doss, ’16, and Anna Wijatyk, ’18, by President Richard Hart, ’70
  • A special screening of the video, “Ebola Warriors,” that tells the stories of SDA Cooper Hospital (Liberia) and Waterloo SDA Hospital (Sierra Leone) as they struggled and survived the Ebola crisis
  • The presentation of the Association of International Medical Services (AIMS) Global Service Award to Sherman Nagel, ’40, and Mary Small, ’66
  • and much more!
