Mission Trip Testimonies - Global Frontier Missions

Mission Trip Testimonies

"We took our group on a mission trip to Oaxaca, Mexico. I could not have asked for a better experience. The training was incredible. By the time we hit the village to minister, we were well aware of all the social customs and it really enhanced our experience. Our group hit the ground running as soon as we got to the village. We really liked the fact that while we were on outreach, we got to stay with the people in the village. I liked it because it didn't separate us from the awe

some people we were ministering with. We were able to spend some quality time and build relationships that we still treasure. Global Frontier Missions has an incredible team that is constantly willing to help make your experience the best it can be. To be with people who truly know the villagers we are ministering to and with, and who want you to love the people is the best part of GFM. If there is one trip you can go on in your life, this should be it. I cannot wait to join them again for another mission partnership."

"Going to Oaxaca last summer was one of the coolest things I have ever been involved with. I was blown away by how well set up everything was. GFM trains both short and long term missionaries by bringing them in to help reach out to the villages. Both the summer staff and each team is extremely well prepared before they head out to the villages with both a good and powerful overview of the Gospel and also local culture. It was while I was there this summer that God called me to full time missions. The friends I made there are definitely some of the coolest people I have ever met, and the inspiration for missions was awesome. I definitely recommend this to anyone who is questioning what their involvement in missions should be. This is an ideal introduction into what real missions is and very inspiring."
May God fill your life with His best,

"This ministry is great! Through GFM, I learned about God's passion to see people in every ethnic group come to know Christ. Now, our church is praying for people in villages who haven't heard of Jesus, sending leaders to these people, and uniting around God's worldwide vision so that "in His name the nations will put their hope." (Matt. 12:21)

"Having led short term trips to many bases, I must say that Global Frontier does the best job of revealing God's heart for the world, inspiring young people to fulfill the Great Commission, and thoroughly training them to fulfill it with excellence! A home run missions experience!"

"Working with GFM in Oaxaca, Mexico has been an amazing experience both as a leader and for our students! GFM is extremely organized, thoughtful, prayerful, and strategic in everything they do. Our groups learn so much about God's heart for missions through the training and the powerful experiences out in the villages of Oaxaca. If you want your students to learn about being servants and catch a vision of God's heart for the lost, then I highly recommend this missions opportunity!"

"Our high school sent a team to partner with Global Frontier and we did not know what wonderful times God had planned for us. The whole [GFM] team was very organized and professional and had not only the Oaxacan people, but our students at heart. They had prepared an awesome time of learning about our Lord's view on missions and the local culture and then allowed us to share in their continued outreach to the local villages. I would recommend this outreach to any who have a heart for completing the Great Commission!"

"Our experience with Global Frontier Missions far exceeded our expectations... our lives were changed forever. We will treasure it always, for it deepened and enriched our walk with the Lord!"

"As the pastor and team leader of those who participated in the summer short-term mission trip in Oaxaca under the caring supervision of the Global Frontier Mission staff, it is difficult to express my gratitude for the deep work of sanctifying grace and world vision God brought to the lives of our team. The thoughtful training and teaching of the GFM staff were far beyond average, as was their infectious love for their Lord and commitment to God's call on their lives. We were well prepared for our mission among an unreached people group but weren't prepared for the extraordinary things God did in us and through us during that trip. I brought back to our home church a team of people whose way of thinking, praying, giving and ministering in the world into whom God has sent us all will never ever be the same."
