The purpose of this orientation is to help prepare our Loma Linda University students for effective short-term mission service in international settings. After completing the orientation you will have gained a greater understanding of the purpose, history, and models of international mission.

We’ve asked a number of travelers to reflect on things they’ve learned and wished they had known before serving internationally, so this orientation has been intentionally created to ease your transition abroad.
