Experience MissionReviews of experiencemission.org

We had a great experience! We were touched by the people we served, especially Lynn. The men did a lot of work at Lynn's, you let them do their thing as there was much experience in their group. There were many tears of God's love as they left on the last day. Experience Missions was always willing to get them the supplies and equipment they needed. The ladies did different jobs, each meaningful in their own way, while river cleanup was not the ideal conditions it was what they enjoyed the most. The church we stayed in was very accommodating to us, we had all the room we needed for sleeping and for having meals and fun. Even though there were only 2 showers, we worked out a schedule that worked. (Some of our women were concerned about sharing a room with men, so Jenna got some sheets and divided the room.) We went to Wednesday night service/Bible Study at Providence, it was a very good night, we enjoyed what verses he talked about and how they could be applied to our trip. They later came and had to have a picture with our group, that meant a lot to us. The food was some of the best food I have ever had on a mission trip and there was always more than enough. Great job by the cooks!!! We stayed at a different church than the rest of the group, it worked well for us and I understand, but we missed out of some of the discussions/fun with the other churches. There was some at meals and worship, but we were ready to get back to our own church by the end of the night. (This is not to be negative, but we always enjoy getting to know the leaders from the groups we are serving with, we had some conversations, but not a lot at the end of the day. I realize each mission trip is different.) Something to think about, music helps unite, I know we could bring our own which we did one night but especially students enjoy singing, I do too. Many good songs out there, with meaningful words. All in all, it was a great trip for all of us, we grew closer to each other, made some great relationships with the people we served, moved us closer to God in many ways, and the team that served us showed their love of God and were very accommodating to us. Thanks for a great experience!!!

We truly appreciated the kindness and dedication of the Mission Experience staff. Their openness and genuine belief in the work they were doing did not go unnoticed, and it was clear they cared deeply about both the volunteers and the communities they served. However, there were several areas that could use thoughtful re-evaluation. Many volunteers felt underutilized, especially given the effort to share our skill sets in the initial surveys. While we were happy to assist with business and landscaping projects, it was disheartening to witness pressing needs—like people living in tents—seemingly go unaddressed. Additionally, this trip may not align with those seeking a spiritually transformative, evangelistic mission experience. Opportunities for group worship, reflection, and outreach were minimal, and evangelism toward those we served was discouraged—something that may surprise those expecting a faith-deepening journey. We're grateful for the opportunity to serve and hope this feedback contributes to even greater impact and clarity in future mission trips.

The staff was fantastic as well as the connection to the community. The worked was well planned and all the needed materials and tools were available. They also provided some great community events. The facilities were exactly as described. Would go back in a minute.

It was overall ok. Nothing amazing, nothing bad. Had a few hiccups in South Africa and Lesotho, other than that it was good.

this trip was life changing for me in the best way! couldn’t recommend it more!

I loved getting to be apart of the immersion experience! Meeting and loving on the people of Cuba, Costa Rica, South Africa, Lesotho, and Namibia who also loved us well back made memories for a lifetime!

My team was fantastic and I made memories that I’ll never forget. Highly recommend!

The Leaders were fantastic, excellent leadership skills and made the week run smoothly.
