S.O.S. (Summer of Service): The Next Step

For the last three years, the Office of Diversity Programming and Mobilization has had the privilege of challenging students to take part in more than the traditional 2-3 week trip. The  SOS program offers ministry opportunities that are the perfect Next Step for those who have been on a Vanguard short term mission trip. 

If you desire to serve the Lord for an entire summer, pray about partnering with various ministries offered this summer.
