“In Ukraine, the Lord taught me through the kids and
staff to freely love with every interaction, through
words and action. I will be going back for a longer
period of time to minister the love of Christ in the
near future.”

“I enjoyed a direct encounter with God’s
Spirit on this outreach, which has yet
to be fully processed. By stepping out
into a new land, by faith, a whole new
perspective is developed, so I would
encourage everyone to do something to
fulfill the Great Commission.”

“God used this trip to stretch me in
the area of language and taught me that
Christ’s love is a language all of its
own. The entire experience was amazing
to me.”

“This trip gave me a deeper understanding
of God’s heart for Israel and how I,
as a Gentile, can support them and be
part of God’s plans for this nation in
the days to come. I think these Expeditions
are beneficial, no matter where you go,
because you get to see God’s heart for
other nations and what He’s doing there.”

“It opened my eyes to the fact that even
though we as Americans have so much (money,
cars, homes, etc.), overall it means
nothing. The children in Brazil had
so little and they were all so happy.
They would have traded any amount of
money just for love. They just wanted
love. Love is the most valuable thing
we can give someone and sharing God's
love is far beyond anything our minds
can comprehend.”

“This trip gave me a glimpse into His
Kingdom and it was phenomenal. We didn’t
just get to bless others, we came away
with a lot more than we gave away. I
know we’ll go back, seeing those missionaries
lay down their lives for those orphans
touched me and broke me.”

"What amazed me was how the love of God in our
hearts transcended any and all language barriers.
It didn't seem to matter that we couldn't discuss
events or ideas but instead could communicate heart
to heart. God's language of love literally knitted
hearts together where words were never spoken. I
am still amazed at the depth of this kind of communication,
and how blessed I am now realizing God is truly everywhere
on planet earth. I genuinely believe Expedition has
been called by God to join Him where He is working."

“My view of God's power and holiness
changed in Ukraine It was incredible
to see worship and prayer in another
country, in another language, in another
culture, but to the same GOD. I have
never been the same. I would definitely
encourage others to go on an Expedition
trip. It’s an opportunity to let God
use you and give you an experience unlike
anything you have ever had.”

“This is a chance for your normal schedule
and routine to completely stop, and for
the Lord to get your attention entirely. These
Expedition trips are hard, rigorous,
exhausting, but full of life, God's power,
His voice and fellowship. They are a
chance to get a glimpse of what God has
for you and the calling He has placed
on your life. It’s also an opportunity
for you to discover what you like to
do, maybe a gift you didn't even know
existed; things that can only come out
in another culture setting.”
