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!

Count the Cost. It’s Still Worth It. The Lord used this time to point out areas of my life that needed to change. Being surrounded by imperfect but committed believers in a new environment is a bigger blessing than you can imagine. I hope that if you read this, that you choose to set aside time to break from the rush of American life. It’s worth it. I promise.

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.

Unreal experience Unreal experience! Best decision of my life! I learned so much about my faith and how I can better interact with God. I was lost but now am found and along the way made some lifelong friends and they taught me where I find God the most and how to connect with him. I learned that love overcomes all things and that community and who you surround yourself with influence you more than you can understand. I cannot thank everyone involved in this trip enough for helping me grow in my faith and general outlook of my future! It has been a blessing to be a part of such an amazing opportunity!

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.
