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,

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.
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).

Parent Organization Information:
Christian Veterinary Mission (CVM)
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.
