These students are provided with instruction in the Bible, Community Health Evangelism (CHE), agriculture, and literacy to prepare families for the church-planting task ahead of them. CHE and mobile immunization clinics have an impact on many lives in remote villages. Church planters participate in the clinics, learning more about disease prevention and health improvement so they can continue modeling and teaching in their communities.
