Welcome! We're so glad you stopped by to discover what students and youth leaders say about their Group Mission Trips experiences. You'll read about how lives were changed as they served others. We've even included stories from residents, parents, and others sharing how their lives were changed. Yes, mission trips bring change to more than the participants themselves.

We hope these stories encourage your ministry and show how mission trips provide an environment that draws young people closer to Jesus.

So, enjoy your stay and come back often to catch up on new stories.
