Long-Term Missions

Animals create an open door for the gospel around the world.  

Relationships built around animals can take you into places where animals play a significant role in cultures, into agricultural communities dependent on their livestock for survival, and even into cities where pet ownership is a growing part of society.    

Christian Veterinary Mission exists to facilitate veterinary professionals and their families in sharing the gospel through their work; equipping you to impact communities through veterinary medicine and challenging you to share your faith through your profession.

Field Workers
 

CVM places veterinary professionals and their families on ministry teams around the world with a vision to see communities and lives transformed through Jesus ChristOur priority is to match families to ministry locations where both spouses can fully engage and utilize their unique gifts for ministry.  

Each worker uses their skills to serve and reach others through a variety of ministry models. Examples include student ministry at veterinary and agricultural schools, facilitating community development programs, and using clinical medicine to build relationships in communities as part of church planting teams.
