I do not recommend EM/IMMERSION I learned and experienced a lot. I was able to witness to many and see Jesus work. However, EM has a lot they need to work on, they have a multitude of areas they need to work on. Their communication with each other and with team members is terrible. Their standard of conduct is not well monitored and kept up. They have no good emergency plans. I could go on but I don't want to include things that may affect other people. I do not recommend this organization and I will never be associated with them again.

Parts of the program are very good Parts of the program are very good, some others need a little polishing. My students and I enjoyed being able to mix them up in the their groups each day as to who was working together. The particular site we were on wasn't extremely organized and there were a few frustrations along the way. I'd spoken with other youth leaders prior who had had very good experiences other places, so might have been a rarity. Admin staff prior to the trip was excellent!

Take the Step! So thankful to have found an organization that boldly follows the Lord and is based about Christ centered relationships. The Lord is truly moving through the EM staff and every team member. Boldly following the Lord is always the best option!

A Leap of Faith The Lord works in mysterious ways and it’s the moments you expect God to show up the least that He shows up the most. Throughout my time in South Africa, I not only got to know a different culture and country, I got to know an entirely different people group. I got to learn their names, hear their stories, share my stories and build relationships that never would’ve happened if I decided not to go and backed out. Trust me, I had every opportunity to, but when you allow God to do a work in your life and also pour into your life through relationships with others. It’s a truly indescribable experience of what God takes you through and how He brings you to the other side.

I love this organization I love this organization. They get back to you super quick, answer every question, and are super personable. Experience Mission is passionate about building relationships, and they do so excellently. My life has been changed from the mission trip I took with them. They are intentional about loving like Jesus does, and they partner with amazing communities to help accomplish that mission. They helped ease all my worries and fears about leaving the country for the first time. I would 10/10 recommend.
