Lipscomb University is known for Christian values, community work and students who give up their own time/money to go on mission trips. The university sends students out for mission trips during the summer, Christmas break, spring break and other times of the year.
One of the spring break mission groups embarked on a medical mission trip to Honduras. The group went to help the Honduran people with medical situations and shared spiritual support along the way.
One of the members of the Honduras team was sophomore Natalie Scarbrough, who will be in Lipscomb’s pharmacy program next year.
“It was such a great experience. It’s completely different from the way we live here. I loved seeing and helping out the children,” Scarbrough said.
The team set up a clinic for any one that needed medical attention, got to interact with the families and were able to spend time with the children.
“This was an experience of a lifetime. If you have never been on a mission trip, I would highly recommend you go on one,” Scarbrough said. “Being there filled me with so much joy. I met some kids that have changed my life. It’s something I will always remember.”
