"One of the most impactful things about our Global Impact trip was seeing young and older people serving together. We got to see incredible revival on the American Indian Field in Arizona and a strong response to the gospel. It was a great, amazing experience!"

— Wycliff Keter, GI Arizona Team

Before I went on the Global Impact trip to Honduras, I felt like I had plateaued in my walk—stuck—like I was done growing. The most amazing experience of the trip was getting to eat dinner with the students at El Sembrador. The bonds of friendship we created with the students and each other on the team will always be very near and dear to my heart.

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.

— Josh Kincaid, GI Honduras Team

The opportunity to slow down and return to a posture of gratitude was one of the most impactful parts of the trip. God worked in me, breaking my heart for what breaks His. I got to learn from Pastor Felix and the Arnotts—seeing their heart for the community and the hope they hold onto.

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

Going on a Global Impact trip strengthened my relationship with the Lord and His Church. I was nervous about the trip, but at each meeting leading up to our departure, multiple people told us they were praying for us to be the hands and feet of Jesus in serving others.

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
