Testimonials
"The Lord brought to my path a young woman named Giomar to whom I was able to share the gospel with and led her to pray the prayer of salvation. She is one of the reasons why we were sent there. Praying that she will be connected to a church and be discipled." –Marie
"I saw how God moved in the small church we served at for the week with the fellowship in the church, involvement in VBS and changed lives in the adult bible study. I also saw how He worked in our team with the devotions, fellowship with one another, and God using us to witness to others on the street and in the church.
I'm thankful for the opportunity to serve in my first international mission trip, and I look forward to what God has in store in the future." –Jimmy
"When our team started together, some were strangers, some acquaintances, and others longtime friends. We all have different strengths but a common goal to glorify God by making Him known. After this week, we have been given a bond of love and encouragement that, whether present together or parted by miles and years, we will carry with us always giving thanks to God." –Carrie
