Each year we take our upper school students and upper elementary students to the HEART (Hunger Education and Resources Training) Institute for a 1-3 day off campus learning experience. HEART is an interdenominational training center designed to prepare people to serve effectively in the underdeveloped world. Located in subtropical Florida, HEART operates a village community that simulates many aspects of underdeveloped world living. Students reside in the village and are provided the opportunity for hands-on application of the many valuable skills integrated into HEART's curriculum. In addition to practical and technical skills, participants acquire problem solving and coping skills that will enable them to adapt more readily to the challenges they will face overseas. Our students benefit in several ways:
- They learn critical leadership and problem solving skills.
- They develop an appreciation for conditions in thrid world countries.
- They get exposure to what life is like in many mission fields.
- They receive an introduction to animal husbandry and sustainable agriculture.
