Heart Program (Lake Wales, Florida)

The HEART Program is offered during January Interterm for those desiring to serve in developing third world countries.

Students live and learn in a simulated third world village. Emphasis is on technical skill learning in agriculture (animals and horticulture), appropriate technology, cross-cultural communication/community development, nutrition/food preparation, and primary health care.

Students receive three hours of Taylor credit for this program, which takes place at the Heart Institute in Lake Wales, Florida.

"Attending HEART was one of the best decisions I made at Taylor.  It helped me to refocus on why my degree was in Intercultural Studies.  It gave many practical/hands-on things to use on the mission field.  It has amazing information for anyone considering missions within the third world." -- Tabatha Lamb - Heart, January, 2005
