All our team members shared many instances of Encountering God, whether it be while visiting the people of Helene, a smile from a child they helped in school, worshiping with many people on the deck at the worship service, worshiping in a church service, or helping a new mother with a complication after the birth of a baby boy.

Our hope is that we have Transformed Lives and Impacted Nations (the people of Helene) with our visit and many interactions. We know that our lives have been transformed by our trip to Helene, as evidenced by the fact that there have been so many team members that have expressed an interest in returning to Helene for future short-term trips. They long to spend time with beloved friends they have made.
