What Teens Are Saying
“Missions is a great opportunity to serve God. I learned that the Lord is looking for a person who is willing to take a stand and be used by Him! And He will use them and change them greatly. This experience will make a difference in my future. I’m now willing to give God my all, be on fire and active in my church.

“I know that I will never forget the first time I passed out Gospel tracts. When I talked to the people they listened and God gave me the words. This short-term mission trip helped me realize that serving God is way better than anything else. It has made me want to be a servant of God forever!”

“While on the mission, I experienced a new level of trust and dependence on God. I was given the opportunity to dance every night of the crusade before the message was preached. The first night I prayed for a girl who was about to commit suicide. But right before she did she heard some people talking about a crusade. She decided to go that night. The girl said that if she was changed by the Lord she wouldn’t kill herself. God did change her and I saw her all five nights of the crusade.”

“Many of these beautiful people seem to have very little hope. Through Jesus Christ, we were able to given them hope, hope in a living God. Praying with them and for them, hugging them. I’m not sure may of them get hugs because when I hugged them, they simply melted into my arms. I kept thinking – what would Jesus do? He would reach out, across all lines of division to touch them, pray for them and love them. So that’s what I did. A piece of my heart ws left in Kenya. I’m not the same person I was before I left.”

“I was able to see many underprivileged children and adults receive Christ in their hearts. Many were also healed. The highlight of the mission for me was to be with the Medical Team. These people had not money to go to the doctor. It was there that I saw many people open to the love of Christ.”
