Why should I consider going on a GI trip?
- Develop a heart for the nations locally, regionally, and globally.
- Grow and stretch your worldview as it pertains to people of other cultures.

"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!"

I had no idea how profoundly impacted I’d be witnessing how the children at the AGC Baby Centre are rescued, redeemed, and restored. My heart has been forever changed by the time I spent there. It was a complete honor to serve alongside the people at the Baby Centre. Being able to go and love those children feels like such a privilege, and I pray it’s as much a gift to them as it is to me. Learn more about the Baby Centre, consider giving a financial gift to their ministry, and definitely think about visiting!

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.

Serving alongside our partners in Southeast Asia is such a blessing. Being predominantly Muslim, it's a very difficult mission field, but God has His hands all over our ministry partners. We’re simply along for the ride. You can only appreciate the vast impact of the ministry in Southeast Asia by seeing it with your own eyes. I highly encourage you to make this trip. You will not regret it!

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.

My husband Verle and I have had the opportunity to go to El Sembrador many times, and it's always an honor to serve the people there. My favorite experience at El Sembrador was leading VBS with the children at several schools. They were so excited to sing and hear about Jesus!
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!

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!

In our American culture, it’s easy to reach in your wallet and give money and think that you’re helping the mission. In 1 John 3:16, we’re called to “lay down our lives for our brothers and sisters.” When you go abroad to serve, this becomes a reality. You see the needs of the people as you serve alongside them. Experiences like that impact your life forever.
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.

On my first trip to Juarez, I felt so welcomed because I was from NMC. Every trip since has challenged me to love people well and set up future NMC teams well by how I represent Christ.
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.

Kenya has done more for me than I’ve ever given to Kenya. It’s changed who I am, and it’s wrecked my life in the most positive way possible. It’s made me a better father, husband, and friend because of the experiences I’ve had there and the relationships that have developed. I’m incredibly blessed by it.

The Global Impact trip to Dr. Arroyo, Mexico, was such a fun trip for our family! I’d go back in a heartbeat. The connection between our kids and the other families we went with lasted into the summer and beyond. It was such a highlight for me to see them serve and worship together—all by their own choice. The friendships we made on that GI trip will last a lifetime.
