3 Months Belize Baby Every single thing was absolute fire. Literally everything was unbelievably incredible and I'd give anything to live it all over again for the very first time. I absolutely love my host families, I love my Belizian friends, I love my astounding IMMERSION team, I genuinely couldn't say anything bad about this experience. Was there days where I wanted to absolutely nothing, but sit in bed and cry, yes there was, was there times I just wished I could be comfortable like I'm comfortable in my house back home, of course, there were many a time I didn't wanna see or hear anyone or anything, but those experiences are not unique to IMMERSION, we literally feel those things in our 'normal' lives all the time, maybe on a less prominent level so we don't realize it, but that doesn't take away from the fact that it's literally so normal, so yes there'll be days you question your sanity for going on this trip, but every. single. day. you will love and you will cherish every single memory, character growth, relationship, etc. for the rest of your life, and don't you want that opportunity, so why not go for it and you might just have the best time of your literal life ever

There were so many experiences and… There were so many experiences and people that I was so blessed to meet. This trip also grew my faith in was that I didn’t necessarily know I needed and gave me more confidence in my relationship with Christ. The immersion staff was very kind and a solid rock for all of us and were more friends by the end of the trip.

the GOAT Experience Mission is an incredible, God-centered organization that puts the dignity of ALL God’s people second to none. Their staff is world class, each of them love God and love people to their bones. The training is adequate and eye-opening; and the trip is life-altering. I recommend them for any sort of trip you’re looking to take. From 2 week to gap year, there isn’t another organization that I would suggest over them. I personally did Caribbean immersion and it was a great time of growth in my life. I wish I could relive it often. The relationships I formed will last a lifetime.

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!

My time serving on an IMMERSIAN team… My time serving on an IMMERSIAN team was the most transformational experience of my life. Taking time to step away from the pace of life in the U.S. and learning that other cultures have a lot to offer, some of which cannot be put into words, changed me for the better. I encourage anyone and who is looking to serve the kingdom, or even just looking for an intercultural experience to do so through EM. You will never be the same. And you’ll never regret it.
