Every year, we send around 20 short-term mission teams to work in the area surrounding our campus in Kenya.

Teams include many areas of expertise and touch various people in our community.

  • Medical Surgical Teams bring a variety of specialties, such as eye specialists, ENT, OB/GYN, general surgery, pediatric surgery, and dental teams.
  • Medical Outreach Teams go out into the community to provide care to the surrounding areas and screen for cases that may be treated by the surgical teams to come. 
  • Non-Medical Prep Teams allow for all types of team members with skills to maintain our campus and upgrade our facilities.
  • Non-Medical Education Teams come every year to work with the community educators.
  • Non-Medical Spiritual Outreach Teams connect with the community to share the love of Christ and be a light to the broken.
