"One of the best summers I have ever had. It was a really incredible experience. If you are thinking about doing any kind of mission work, this is the way to get a taste of it."
Jesse
EnGage! Canada
"All the time in our community we were asked, 'Are you a Christian?' When we said yes, this would start a conversation. But because we had built relationships already and people had gotten to know us, and like us, it didn't bother them. They would then ask us lots of questions about what we believed and what Christianity was like, and we were able to tell them."
Brooke
EnGage! Canada
"EnGage! challenged me to trust God in times where I could not 'do things' because of the language barrier. This allowed me to let others partake in the 'doing' part while I prayed, another very important part of the ministry."
