What they say

It changed my life… it made me reconsider my attitudes, choices and decisions and the way I relate to people… the passion that others had was inspiring.

Thank you for helping my children understand that a relationship with God is not only the right path but is actually fun as well

It was so good for me. I learnt new ways of doing things, met new people, got some training and saw the bigger picture, as well as working with people who are passionate about youth work.

Listening to a boy with Downs Syndrome telling me he wanted Jesus to be his best friend was amazing.

It was the toughest year I've had on team but throughout it all God was rock solid. He reminded me in so many ways that his power is made perfect in our weakness. It was amazing seeing him revolutionising lives.

My daughter has settled back well and is continually telling us about the holiday. She takes her Bible everywhere, reads it every night and even sleeps with it under her pillow!

I don't know who gained more, the team or the children!

The look of peace and relief that I saw on a young boy's face when he heard that Jesus knew what it was like to be a 9-year-old boy was truly one of the most rewarding moments.

When I first came on the beach mission, I was a bit nervous as I only knew one other person there! But I had a fantastic time - everyone on the team was so open, friendly, and welcoming! I've made some great friends who I'll definitely stay in touch with.

As a single mum my son only comes into contact with a few men but he has really connected with the guys on team and has been asking loads of questions about God. They have been great role models for him.

The greatest highlight of the week was the increased involvement of local churches in the work… two churches are hoping to work together more and follow up the event.
