encounter new experiences that
consume their time, confront them

be a spiritual oasis amidst the storm.

students and experienced doctors to
strengthen both their faith and their

teaching, students are given the tools
needed to build a spiritually thriving
medical practice.

the cries of impoverished regions in
other countries and in our own city
by deploying teams of medical
professionals and students to take
holistic care, essential training, and

mission trips annually, we deploy our

Atlanta, offering both healthcare and
spiritual encouragement to those in
our city who need it most.
