People Over Projects When we arrived at La Iglesia Familia, we were greeted by Diane and Ed, who gave us a great overview of what our week might be like. From the very first meeting with them, we knew that God was guiding us in our work for the week. Our group really wanted to be able to make connections within the community. We had been praying for this before and during our trip, and our prayers were answered ten-fold. We had so many opportunities to talk with, pray with, and learn from people in the community. Every day was a different experience and we really got to live out the "people over projects" approach of mission. This, to me, is so important and I'm glad we were able to take part in this mission experience.

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!

Trust in the Lord, Lean not on your own understanding From my experience, EM leaves a lot of the responsibility up to the participants, so the trip is kind of what you make of it. If you are a person that needs structure this could be a challenge for you. If you are free flowing and looking for adventure you might enjoy it more. I believe if you are willing and able to turn every day over to the Lord and let him work through you and around you this trip can have a great impact for the communities you visit and your own life—just don’t expect that impact to come through EM or their resources.

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.
