Several local youths in the pre-med program at Drury University are joining the Medical Missions for Christ crew on their next mission trip to Belize.
The question now is how do financially-strapped college students afford a plane ticket to South America?
The Community Christian Church on Route 5 in Camdenton has an answer.
The church is hosting an all-you-can-eat spaghetti dinner fundraiser Saturday for the three student-church members.
From 1-8 p.m., the church will be serving homemade spaghetti and meatballs for $8 per adult, $5 per child and free for children under the age of 4 with proceeds going to fund the trip for Keri Sauvage, Brian Edwards and Will McPherson.
The three will join a team of doctors, dentists, nurses and other medical professionals volunteering medical care and spreading a Christian message when Medical Missions for Christ travels to Belize in January.
Volunteers with Medical Missions for Christ operate a health center in Camdenton, treating more than 1,000 patients from Camden, Miller and Morgan counties since it opened two years ago.
