Current Student Missionaries

Meet our 2022-2023 Student Missionaries! Thank you for praying for and supporting them with encouraging notes as they let Jesus' love shine through them wherever they serve around the world.

 

The student missionary experience is an integral part of Walla Walla University life. For over 60 years, Walla Walla University students have been acting on Christ’s command to love people in every nation. From teachers to radio technicians, pilots to medical workers, maintenance to media assistants, student missionaries live out the mission of Walla Walla University and the Seventh-day Adventist church.

 

Stepping into this experience is one of the most defining decisions a student can make. The cost is great, but the reward is greater.
