Student Missions

Goal: $8000

As director of the AU Student Missions Program I want to share with you my enthusiasm and desire for growth, and invite you to be a part of it!!

Each year Andrews sends out student missionaries across the world to be teachers, deans, agriculture workers, evangelists, health care professionals, and more. This year, Andrews is planning to send out 16 students to meet mission calls. These students will not only serve in their respective capacities as teachers, medical assistants, and such, but they will also show and share Jesus while doing it. This experience is one which students will look back on for the rest of their lives as a time when they put all their focus and energy into serving God.  

The Student Missions program wants to help support as many students as possible in their endeavor of serving. This experience takes a significant financial commitment from both the individual and the SM program itself. This is where you come in! Your financial support can help us change lives and bring hearts to Jesus here on campus and around the world.

-June Price, University Chaplin

Going into the mission field as a SM, I felt unequipped and undereducated. I sincerely felt that God was leading me to take a teaching position in Chuuk, Micronesia, yet I was unsure of the path ahead and I didn’t know if I would be able to face all of the challenges to come. As I look back at everything that has happened since I made the decision to serve, the highs the lows, the unforgettable memories and lessons learned I have come to a better understanding of what it means to truly trust in God. Ultimately, the success of our Christian walk is not measured by our own “goodness” or capability but rather how “good we are at listening to, and obeying God’s voice." -Ellie Butikofer, Chuuk, 2017-2018

"For the past month, we’ve been learning about heaven and its beauties. My kids get excited and start asking so many questions that make me even more excited to answer! I love seeing how their faces light up when I tell them that nobody will die anymore in heaven. Many of us have lost someone loved, and knowing what is waiting for us up there just gives us strength to continue this path to eternal life. Thanks to these kids and the excitement they get when we talk about Jesus, my hope for an eternal life with Jesus grows more and more! Can’t wait for the day when we all gather by the river of life. I pray to God that I can be reunited with all of these beautiful little souls." - Esterady Caamal D'Vicente, Palau

“It’s the first full day of classes here at Pohnpei SDA School. … The kids here are good kids. They’re going to test me, I’m sure, but I believe it is going to be a good year with big advances for these students. It is my hope and prayer that I can truly elevate at least one of these kids to be more than they ever thought they could be. I’m definitely in a little bit over my head, but I am able to do this through Christ who strengthens me. May these kids share in His joy at some point in their lives!”
