What Southern SMs say...

"It was awesome! I think everyone should do it! You grow so much in relationship with God and learn so much about life and other cultures (and for me, Spanish!!). "
—Carrie Carman, El Salvador, orphanage worker

"It taught me to prepare for change. I don't think anything else could prepare you for service any better!"
—Matt Turk, Czech Republic, ESL Teacher

"I would recommend it because it's a challenging once-in-a-lifetime experience that gives you an opportunity to learn about another culture."
—Mandy Rogers, Pohnpei, 3rd grade Teacher

"It makes you look at life in a completely different way and makes you much more appreciative of everything."
—Marissa Roberts, Marshall Islands, Kindergarten Teacher

"It's a life-transforming, selfless experience. To see how God worked through my life and helped spread the Word was incredible. To see God at work, instead of hearing about it, changes how one looks at Christianity and church in general."
—Juan Monsalve, Washington, Youth Pastor

"You learn amazing people skills and an AMAZING amount of information about yourself that you wouldn't otherwise learn! You also get to 'practice' sharing Jesus to people younger AND older than yourself."
—Kelly McClurg, New York, Girls' Dean
