Our team had an incredible time serving in Asheville! Our leaders, Don and Anna were fabulous! We loved seeing our teenagers grow in their faith and in confidence as they ministered to people and learned new hands-on skills. Additionally, being able to have a team of all ages brought a family and biblical intergenerational dynamic to the trip that many other youth trips miss. We look forward to booking with Mission Discovery another time!

What made this experience so meaningful was the variety of opportunities our group had to learn what missions can look like in different settings. Throughout the week, we participated in street witnessing, partnered with a local church to work in their community garden, renovated homes damaged by Hurricane Helene, and assisted with ongoing hurricane relief efforts. What I loved most about the week was that the mission was not only to serve but also to build relationships and love the community well. It was a privilege to connect with the people of Asheville, hear their stories, and pray with them. Taking the time to listen and build genuine relationships helps people feel seen, heard, and valued. Rather than beginning with a message, we began with compassion and allow the Holy Spirit to work in people's hearts. Taking time to learn people's names, hear their stories, and understand their experiences. As trust grew, many people became more open to sharing their hearts, allowing natural opportunities to talk about faith and the hope we have in Jesus. Those connections also helped our mission team better understand how to pray specifically for the people we met and continue to support them beyond our time there. I also loved building relationships with the leadership team at Mission Discovery. Don and Ana were incredible leaders who guided and encouraged our team as we served the Asheville community. Their leadership, support, and heart for ministry made a lasting impact on our experience. Thanks for this wonderful experience.

This experience was truly one that I’ll take with me forever! The leaders were so amazing, helpful and filled with the holy spirit :) everyone was so kind and as an individual going on this mission everyone was so welcoming! The God sightings each night was a great way for us to see even the little ways that God moves throughout our days instead of always looking for the big miracles. We also had worship and devotional time which was a great way to abide in Jesus and really get to spend time with the Lord.

There are no words to actually describe the depth of this experience. When we bow our hearts to God and let Him be the main event, He shows out. I was blessed to get to become close to the pastor’s wife. Though neither of us spoke the others language and there was often only the two of us working together, the Holy Spirit knit our hearts together. God is always faithful to do mighty things for His children who are building His Kingdom through Jesus Christ. The children will forever be in my heart as well. The country was beautiful, and the area we slept in- peaceful.

I really liked being with my friends and meeting new people to. I especially liked getting to talk to the people I was there to serve.

I had a great time in Guatemala! At first, I was excited at the opportunity to travel to another country and experience another culture as well as buying souvenirs. However, I soon learned that mission trips weren't just about traveling and volunteering, but also learning to grow even more in one's faith by helping others learn about God. The God Sightings that we did every night was new to me, and I was kind of in disbelief that people took an ordinary moment and were like, "yeah, that was God". I would've just thought it was coincidence, but they taught me that I need to listen to God more in my life so I can see all the little details of how he works in my life.

I get to talk to local families and play the children. God was talking to me while praying with one of the family, their gratefulness on the midst of difficulties touches my heart

I had a great time! I enjoyed serving at all of the places we went to. The volunteers were so kind and helpful. I enjoyed serving at all of the places we went to. My favorite place to serve was dream streets. Seeing all the people so grateful was awesome. All in all I would definitely recommend mission Discovery
