Kellyn Alflen

"I wanted to go on this trip to walk out what it means to be the hands and feet of Jesus. I felt like that and much more was accomplished. I am hoping that the impact we left as a team was as great, if not greater than the impact it left on my life."

Jacob Alcamo

"This was a life-changing experience for me, and I think it can also be the same for others, so if it has ever crossed your mind to go, don’t overthink it, do it!"

Caleb Alcamo

"The outreach trip to Mexico was amazing. I am endlessly thankful for the opportunity. Helping to build the house for Alvino and his family was one of the most educational and fulfilling things I have ever done."

Rob Duel

"This trip opened my eyes and taught me to be truly grateful for everything I have and for where I am in life. Witnessing the realities of others—especially the children in the orphanages and the families in the migrant camps—was humbling. Seeing how they live, not by choice but by circumstance, made me reflect on who I am and the kind of person I want to become."

Brianna Peralta

"I will never forget this trip; I think I left a piece of my heart back in Mexico."

Cheyanne Cooper

"If you’re looking for something meaningful, something that will truly impact your life, this is it. Don’t miss the chance to be part of it next year. You’ll laugh, you’ll grow, you’ll be blessed in ways you never expected, and you’ll come back with a heart full of memories and a fresh new outlook on life."

Stacy Sires

"Being there to bring a smile to the people who struggle daily to sometimes just survive the day. Reaching out and giving some of those basic things was such a bittersweet feeling, because we wanted to do so much more. There is still such a great need for so many in the community."
