Mission Trips Testimonials

“All four trips I have taken have been food for thought, prayer and action. Being there changes everything — especially our hearts.” ∼Rev. Greg J. (Chicago, IL)

“When I saw these people filled with joy with the little they have, I realized that they have the strongest thing of all — faith in Jesus. Because of them, my life is forever changed!” ∼Tara M. (New Hope, PA)

“I would describe the trip as a cold bath that wakes you up and shows you the true meaning of life. It teaches you the ultimate action, which is service to others.” ∼Jean N. (Orlando, FL)

“I saw first hand how much we can make a difference in the lives of the poor. Even one church can do so much to alleviate suffering and give hope. We can all make a difference in at least one life. Seeing things firsthand gives a great perspective, both on the plight of the poor, and the incredible scope of outreach of Food For The Poor to those in such great need.” ∼Bonnie D. (Winchester, VA)

“The trip in person is a totally different experience emotionally, intellectually and spiritually than reading statistics in a book or seeing pictures. Nothing reaches you as much as hands-on experience. I do not know how you can make this trip and not have a paradigm shift in what you feel you are created for, and what your priorities will be in the future.” ∼Rev. Martin D. (Boca Raton, FL)

“This trip is the most meaningful and impactful three days of my life. I have done a number of things, gone a number of places, and seen pretty cool stuff, but nothing compares to the three days I spent in Jamaica. Thank you for this opportunity.” ∼David J. (Wichita, KS)

“Everyone needs to see how the poor in third world countries live. If you get a chance to go on a mission trip — GO! Again, God bless Food For The Poor in all that they do.” ∼Deacon Bob D. (Channahon, IL)

“The trip again was truly wonderful and unforgettable. You all are doing a wonderful job. God is doing some wonderful work — the staff is wonderful and work so hard for the poor. I hope to see you all again next year. I am always praying for your organization.” ∼Christina B. (Ft. Wayne, IN)

“The trip exceeded my expectations in that not only did we encounter poor people, but I felt connected to them and enriched by them. It is a very valuable, worthwhile experience. It reinforces the realization that we are all connected in our world — at home and abroad. There but for the grace of God goes I.” ∼Bob U. (Orland, ME)

“I thought the sites that we visited were perfect for showing us FFP’s efforts to serve Christ. I was able to see Christ not only in the people that lived there, but in the other members of my group reaching out to them. I am forever changed because of this experience.” ∼Brian S. (Lawrence, KS)
