9th Annual CVM Shortcourse 2010
August 25-28

save the date!

Preceding the CVC Central, enjoy two full days of fellowship and learning together with other veterinarians like yourself! We offer a series of seminars for vets in practice in this country, for those considering long-term mission service overseas and for those involved in, or desiring to become involved with short-term cross-cultural service here and abroad. This is a great time to learn about CVM, hear from experienced CVM vets, make new friends or reconnect with old friends and share your experiences with others. If you attended one track last year, consider coming again and stretching your faith by joining one of the other course tracks this year.

Come and be amazed at what the Lord is doing through Veterinary Medicine around the world and in local veterinary practices.  Enjoy great food, fantastic fellowship, and exciting learning opportunities. Bring your friend, spouse, colleague, associate, or your technician.  Come as a team!

ask for the ancient paths,

ask where the good way is,

and walk in it,

and you will find rest for your souls."
