Christian Veterinary Mission
Mission Statement
The
Student Chapter of the Christian Veterinary Mission (CVMF-Christian
Veterinary Mission Fellowship Group) is an organization at Washington
State University that primarily includes participants from the Christian
faculty, staff, and students. We meet weekly and pursue activities that
encourage our growing closer to God, each other, and others with whom we
have daily contact. We emphasize fellowship, personal growth, prayer,
and outreach to the rest of the college. This is a great way to learn
how to be a better Christian witness as a veterinarian.
Activities
Weekly Fellowship Meetings
The WSU Christian Veterinary Mission Fellowship Group meets to
encourage, pray, and share a Bible study together.
Please feel free to come and join us at any time. We do not collect
dues and all are welcome to come!
For the Spring 2009 semester, we are meeting at 12 noon on Mondays
in the WADDL Conference Room (Bustad 155C). PLEASE COME AND JOIN
US! We also hold prayer time once a week before school as well as
off-campus fellowship times on Friday nights.
FREE Cookie and Bible Give-Aways
Each semester over the past several years we have an outreach
during the last week of the semester. CVMF participants donate
cookies, muffins, or other sweet goodies and we set them out in the
Bustad lobby and give them away to whoever would like them. We also
give away free Bibles that are imprinted on the cover with: Compliments
of WSU Christian Veterinary Fellowship.
Nicaragua Mission Trip, July 2010
This summer a group of CVF veterinary students will be traveling to
Nicaragua to do a two week veterinary mission trip. They will be
traveling throughout Nicaragua to provide mostly large animal care and
to teach several different communities about sustainable agriculture.
The students will be able to show the love of God all throughout
Nicaragua ranging from the countryside, in the mountains and in local
communities on the outskirts of the large cities. Aside from providing
veterinary care, the group will be able to display God's love and work
through relationship building and by playing with children. Please join
us in prayer for this group!
International Shuttle Trips with CVM
Veterinary students can go for short-term shuttle trips with
Christian Veterinary Mission. Currently, opportunities are available
for trips to various locales in South and Central America, Africa, and
Asia. Two pictures are from shuttles by a student to Haiti (1999-above)
and Tanzania, East Africa (2000-right). Contact CVM below for more
information.
Prayer Requests
We invite your prayer requests which we will bring before
the Lord during our weekly meetings. Please e-mail one of the WSU
contacts below. We would also enjoy hearing the answers you receive!

Christian Veterinary Mission is an international,
interdenominational relief and development organization based in
Seattle, Washington. We have over 5000 US veterinarians and veterinary
students involved in our organization and are always looking for new
members. CVM was founded by Dr. Leroy Dorminy who was one of the first
to realize the impact that veterinarians could have overseas, especially
in a holistic ministry in the developing world. Since 1976, more than 58
veterinarians have served long-term in more than 35 countries. They have
shared the love of Christ by teaching and training farmers about basic
animal health care, as well as through direct ministry telling the story
of Jesus. CVM has also coordinated more than 800 short-term veterinary
shuttle missions that support the long-term projects. CVM also sponsors
fellowship/prayer breakfasts at veterinary meetings as well as
facilitating student fellowship groups in veterinary schools around the
country.
