What others say and the experiences people have on UGM trips is a reflection of the message John brings, one of challenge, impact, living a daily purpose, pursuing a vision…….
If youre looking for a youth ministry to support, one that
is cutting edge and getting results, then UGM is the one you are looking
for.
Bill Scott, ZJAM Radio Network and Youth Ministries
Thanks for the opportunity to travel to Sweden, not only to share
the Gospel of Jesus, but to change the lives of four women.
The Darins, CCM Group
I have seen the impact that UGM has had on teenagers and getting
them excited about ministry.
Jimm Conn, Producer of Dawson McAllister Live
John Stayskals heart for teens and soccer is an obvious
reflection of his love for Christ. Its exciting to see God blessing
Johns obedience and passions as he goes for the Ultimate Goal.
Jeremy Jones, Associate Editor of Breakaway Magazine
I really believe in what you are doing. I love the whole idea
of combining sports with ministry and missions.
Susie Shellenberger, BRIO Magazine
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.
