Why should I consider going on a GI trip?
- Develop a heart for the nations locally, regionally, and globally.

I went to Honduras searching for growth, a more intimate relationship with my Heavenly Father, and tools to help me daily live out my faith. I found all those and much more, all because I said "yes" to God calling me out of my comfort zone.

— Dustin Geyer, GI Southeast Asia Team
Hearing testimonies from others on my team, seeing the people's desire to know more of God and share the gospel with others, and praying in unity as a team were some of my top moments from the Global Impact trip.
— Phu Le, GI Arizona Team
I always come home from El Sembrador with an appreciation of the wonderful work our missionaries do there in teaching the students—not only academics—but how to grow in their faith and live a life pleasing to God. If you've never been on a mission trip, I highly recommend you go to El Sembrador. It's a beautiful place!
— Marci Cramer-Hochstetler, GI Honduras Team
My biggest takeaway wasn't the phenomenal food, playing fun games as a team, or handing out backpacks to kids. It was seeing the Body of Christ. My eyes were truly unveiled at how my team and the church in Juarez collided despite language and cultural barriers. The Lord is working, not just in the United States or at NMC, but all around the world. When we follow the call to go and share the good news through serving others, we're examples of Christ. If given the opportunity, go on a Global Impact trip. It will change your life!
— Kiersten Todd, GI Mexico Team
If you get a chance to go—whether that’s to El Sembrador or Kenya or wherever—just go! It will change you and help you become more like Jesus. That’s what it’s done for me. My prayer is to become more like Jesus, and I see Him clearly when I visit El Sembrador.
— Dick Holdeman, GI Honduras Team
Every time I visit with a partner in Juarez, I’m always struck by how well they serve us and the hospitality of the pastors and congregations. Their fellowship and friendship is so refreshing, even with the language barrier. They remind me that loving people well and serving others doesn’t have to be—and usually isn’t—done in a big showy way.
If you have the opportunity to visit a global partner, do whatever it takes to get there. You’ll come away with a new perspective of Jesus and how He's moving in different ways and in different places.
