WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING ABOUT GUATEMALA TRIPS

7th international trip led by Mission Discovery. The organization is blessed to have good Godly leaders whose hearts balance the challenges that come with running a trip for novices in a foreign land. Your organization is truly blessed by God. Keep up the great work. It truly changes lives!

Lawrence Diehl

I enjoyed meeting Nathan and having him lead our group. I was disappointed he did not learn our names, but I know he was extra busy with having 5 sites to oversee. Song leader Elena made the most personal connection of all staff members and her story was deeply moving to many of our teens. The interns (Kelly and Ashley) were less well-received. Ashley in particular was rather cold and the teens felt she was cutting them down rather than lifting them up. I believe it’s a reflection of her age & a need to mature more before being viewed as a mentor and leader.

Cheryl Fasse

From the work to the worship, to the logistics to the spirit and hearts of the Mission Discovery staff, our experience was world-class and one we will always treasure!

Mike Hayhurst

The Mission Discovery people were the best. The trip was excellent… well organized and worthwhile.
