Many students are open to exploring how their faith impacts their service to others.  Heidi Michelsen has always given opportunity for devotional time and building of Christian community among the students during our service learning experience. While this is not a mandatory element of the trips, many students embrace this element of serving.

Students have told me how much their service trip has affected their lives. Some reported that this will affect what field of medicine they wish to pursue. Others state that because of their service trip, they will look for ways they can continue to serve even when they return home.
