A Successful Mission Project

Great Job Everyone!
The collection of oral hygiene kits proved to be a successful first mission project for our faith partnership.  
Trinity's catechism students helped assemble packets
Thanks to the combined efforts of your congregations and the SWOSU Lutheran Campus Ministry we assembled nearly 150 complete oral hygiene kits to be distributed in Panama this Spring. 


In addition to the complete kits there were enough left-over supplies and monetary donations to complete at least a couple dozen additional kits. 

Considering the average cost of the items per packet, this is quite a sizable contribution! You all deserve a lot of credit!

Special Announcement

Mission Opportunity

Providing Oral Hygiene Kits for SWOSU medical mission to Panama

The Lutheran Campus Ministry and the three partner churches have been invited to help assemble oral hygiene kits to be distributed in Panama this Spring.

Dr. Nina Morris (Peace, Bessie) is a professor at the SWOSU College of Pharmacy. She and two other faculty members will be leading a group of pharmacy and nursing students on a medical mission trip in March.

As part of their trip, they will distribute as many oral hygiene kits as possible (hopefully at least 400 to 500).

This is a great opportunity for our faith partnership to work together with our campus ministry and the local community!

The Hygiene Packs should include:
  • Tube of toothpaste (smallish)
  • Toothbrush (adult or child size)
  • Dental Floss
  • Shampoo (small/travel size)
  • Lotion (small/travel size)
  • Nail clippers
  • Bar of Soap (small)
These will be put into a quart-sized Ziplock type baggie
