“The more I think back on my experiences with UGM, the more I realize how God used your ministry to impact my life, to be someone who can be more effective in spreading the truth about Jesus Christ.”
Trip Participant

“Thank you for inspiring me to serve the Lord right where I am. You must be in awe of how God has used you, I know I am.”
Trip Participant

“I don't know what else to say other than I was challenged more than I have ever been challenged on a mission trip, and I praise God that he pushes us out of our comfort zone...for our own good and for his glory.”
Trip Participant

“The most important effect the UGM trip had on my life was that it shuttled me to the point of no return. God brought me from holding onto myself, scared to step out of the boat to dying to myself for more of Him”
Trip Participant

“God totally changed my life through this trip...and my attitude towards reaching others for Him.”
Trip Participant

“We want you to know that the trip was exactly what we had hoped it would be...well, actually better. You were able to help affirm their individual walks with the Lord and challenge them to stretch beyond their comfort zones.”
