Students will spend their time in various classes learning theory, practice, and working in different areas on our campus as time and program needs allow (Farm, Lifestyle Center, Country Store, Maintenance, etc.). Work provision will provide an opportunity to observe and learn valuable practical skills that may be applied anywhere they go after graduation.
The course provides an equal amount of classwork on evangelism and natural remedies. Our program offers a comprehensive sampling of courses that give the student a taste of the various components of medical missionary work.
Eden Valley is a non-profit organization, and the staff is composed 100% by volunteers, so the Medical Missionary Evangelism Program depends on the student’s tuition to keep the program running. Currently, we cannot offer scholarships, but we encourage applicants who cannot afford the program to find sponsors in their local church to help them with the tuition costs.
