Christian Veterinary Mission

Christian Veterinary Mission(CVM) is a missionary sending organization founded by Leroy Dorminy in 1979 and based in Seattle, Washington.

As stated on their website, "Christian Veterinary Mission seeks to help veterinarians serve others and live out their Christian faith through their profession. We seek to change lives and communities by improving the care of livestock and other animals.^[1]"

There are many different aspects to CVM's ministry, each supporting its purpose in a different way. CVM's primary activities involve sending and supporting veterinary missionaries both overseas and within the United States. These missionaries participate in various ministries depending on their location and personal gifts, including: livestock development, evangelism, ethno-veterinary medicine, church planting, and capacity building of local communities. Missionaries may participate in both long term or short term opportunities and CVM currently supports 25 veterinarians in long term missions in 12 different countries^[1].

Other CVM ministries include a Professional Outreach and Student Outreach. CVM supports a Christian Veterinary Fellowship student chapter at each of the 28 veterinary colleges in the United States^[1].
