For over 130 years, Southwestern Adventist University (SWAU) has been a Christ-centered learning community where students discover their purpose, deepen their relationship with God, and prepare for lives of leadership and service

Since 2003, SWAU has organized an annual mission trip to the Navajo Nation for students and alumni. More than just a spring break experience, this journey transforms lives—building meaningful relationships, learning from a rich and resilient culture, and serving communities with purpose and love.

This March, we’re preparing for another unforgettable trip—and we’d love for you to be part of it. Your support will impact not only our students but also the Navajo families and communities we serve.

Mission Trip Highlights

Cultural training and immersion with a Navajo guide and educator, native storytelling, pottery shop and museum visits, trading posts, and scenic hikes
Student-led worship at local churches
Service projects in senior centers, youth programs, and Navajo communities
