SMI
Summer Medical Institute (SMI) is the medical missions trip run by Valley Baptist Family Practice Residency, in partnership with Valley Baptist Missions and Education Center, Friends of Jesus, and with the support of many churches in Harlingen and surrounding areas. Started by Medical Campus Outreach (MCO) of Philadelphia, the vision remains to train a new generation of healthcare providers who are Christ-centered and Biblically integrated in their approach to healthcare. SMI is a discipleship ministry, where God ministers to the team through intimate discipleship groups, teachings from Christian doctors, regular dependence on God through prayer, living out the Gospel in a close community, and loving our neighbor through service. God also ministers through the team as we give door-to-door health and spiritual screenings in Harlingen, Texas, and run mobile health clinics in churches in the Rio Grande Valley.
Rio Grande Valley Medical Missions is dedicated to supporting SMI and the great ministry that it provides to the underprivileged people in the colonias of the Rio Grande Valley. RGVMM partners with SMI financially and administratively to ensure the success of this unique mission outreach. To learn more about SMI, please visit their website at www.thesmi.org
