The Medical Evangelism Training (MET) Program offers North American college students an immersive six-week mission experience focused on medical evangelism. Participants receive classroom instruction in language, culture, basic health skills, and missiology, paired with hands-on field training alongside full-time medical evangelists. From the coast to the highlands of Guatemala, MET students shadow experienced medical missionaries and serve through primary mobile clinics, gaining real-world experience that thoughtfully integrates faith, healthcare, and compassionate service.

The MET Program is designed for students considering medical missions as a life path. Over six weeks, students explore how medical care can be a form of ministry, working directly with communities in Guatemala. Classroom learning, fieldwork, and service opportunities give participants a clear understanding of how their skills and faith can make an impact.

The MET Program is perfect for pre-med, pre-dentistry, nursing, missions, and other students interested in combining healthcare and ministry. Preference is given to juniors and seniors who are members of the Church of Christ, but all students passionate about serving in a medical mission context are encouraged to apply. Typically, 10-12 students are selected nationwide each year.

MET participants are not just observers—they actively engage in mission work. From providing medical care to assisting in community projects, students experience the challenges and rewards of medical evangelism. The program emphasizes practical learning and spiritual growth, encouraging students to consider how they can serve both locally and globally.

The MET Program is a six week, immersive experience that provides students with hands-on training in medical evangelism. The program fee covers lodging, meals, emergency evacuation insurance, in-country transportation, and orientation materials. Round-trip flights are additional. Students are encouraged to plan ahead to ensure they can fully participate in this transformative and life-changing opportunity.

Participating in MET is an investment in your faith, education, and future. With comprehensive support provided for lodging, food, transportation, and training materials, students can focus on learning and serving. Flight costs are separate, but the opportunity to experience medical evangelism firsthand is invaluable.

The 2026 MET Program will run from May 15 to June 26. The program fee is $2,250, which includes lodging, meals, emergency evacuation insurance, in-country transportation, and orientation materials. Round-trip flights are an additional cost, with students typically spending between $800–$1,200. This program offers a unique opportunity for students to gain hands-on experience in medical evangelism, and we encourage participants to plan ahead to fully engage in this transformative experience.
