"Someone told me before going on a Missions trip to the Philippines that, although my heart and desire was to be a blessing to the Filipino people we met, that I would be the one that got the greatest blessing. There were certainly challenges along the way, such as coping with heat and humidity, doing door to door evangelism, children's ministry, leading cell groups in a country where english is not a first language. What I generally met with despite this, was warm, friendly, hospitable, humble and giving people who had a wonderful ability to smile, even in their hard places. Their generosity toward us was serious heart-melting stuff. It was a not-to-be-missed experience. It certainly gave me a greater God-view and love for people and I look forward to returning."
"The Ministry Training College missions trip was the most incredible experience! It challenged me to step out, shook my worldview and saw me reaching out to people in a way I'd never experienced before. I am definitely someone who is naturally hesitant to step out of my comfort zone and the thought of missions terrified me, but I decided to just step out and do it, and it was more than worth it. I went expecting to give out, sacrifice and serve, all this happened, but the experience I had and the people I met blessed me and gave back more than I could have anticipated. I would encourage anyone considering the missions trip, if you have a heart for God and love people, you are more than qualified to go. You'll be challenged to step out, your faith will grow, and surprise yourself with what God can do when you get there."
