I had the pleasure of interning for Experience Mission this summer in Puerto Rico and Costa Rica. Experience Mission has been one of the biggest blessings recently in my life. Their staff is so helpful and so equipping the interns for work during the summer. Their heart for missions has been one of the best I have seen. It has been such a sweet time learning from the way they do short term missions and engage the world in a way that loves others and glorifies the Lord!

I had a great experience with Experience Mission this summer as an intern. The training we completed in May prepared us well in a broad sense for what we would encounter on the field. Though it was our first time doing ministry in this area, we were able to establish new partnerships and build upon what God was already doing in the ministries in the city. I am thankful that we were able to stay with the teams in the church and cook their meals throughout the week. It was stretching and challenging to be entrusted with so much responsibility over so many team members, but we were able to lead them well as we trusted God’s direction. Everyday looked different, and every week posed its own challenges and excitements, so we were constantly relying on God for wisdom and guidance. One of the things that would have improved our experience was more supervision over team dynamics apart from the Trip Coordinator’s responsibility to mediate and oversee the basic issues. It would be helpful to have more of a supervising presence when running into problems and boundaries. However, I know that part of the job is being responsible for each other as a team, so I do not know if this could be changed. Apart from that, I think Experience Mission did well at preparing us for teams, besides a few run-ins we had with miscommunications about PEX cards and Kids Club materials. I would recommend the internship to other people, and I will definitely be prayerfully considering my return for next summer!

Experience Mission’s ministry is 5 stars. Their Summer Internship program is an inspiring leadership opportunity that refines character and strengthens faith. Every single EM staff member shines a genuine example of servanthood. I feel blessed to have worked with this incredible organization and recommend their ministry in highest regards.

Our Youth Group team of 22 had an amazing mission trip to Navajo Nation, New Mexico! The EM staff, Paul and Sarah were fantastic! Everything was as expected when we arrived, the worksites and people served were memorable. Expectations were surpassed! I would wholeheartedly recommend EM and would plan another mission trip in the future. Excellent organization and people doing God’s work.

I really enjoy the basis of relationships the company emphasizes on. It is an eye-opening experience to meet all these different people from all over the world in different walks of life, and to see that they too are just people. You relate and connect with them and see that you’re not so different after all. You hear their testimonies, see their struggles and their strengths, and you grow as you start to get a bigger and better understanding of God and how He’s at work all over the world

Embracing a new culture with little to no expectations was a freeing experience and allowed God to be so present and used in such a beautiful way. Sometimes things seem disorganized but it makes it more fun that way.

Going through Immersion is very challenging but worth it if you allow it to be. You will learn how to be flexible, how to serve even when it’s hard, and how to love. You will learn about different cultures and how they live and you will learn how to see God in different parts of the world.

this was the most beautiful, challenging, joyful, stressful, meaningful, surrending experience of my life!
