From Jason, youth director at Christ Kingom Church in Orland, FL
"Serving at Operation Exodus was a great experience for our high school youth! Students not only experienced another part of our country that they had not been to before, but also had to step out of their comfort zones to care for the kids in Washington Heights. They had the opportunity to see what our Savior means to these children and learn about another culture.
Our students returned home with leadership experience and a better sense of how to relate to others. They also learned that sharing the Gospel is not simply reciting verses to people - the Gospel is reflected in how you live out your life.
Mission to the World did a great job preparing us for our time in New York, and did an even better job taking care of us during our week. Our Project Director was very relational with the staff and kids at Exodus, and served as a great role model for each of us.
All of our students said they would definitely consider returning to serve at Operation Exodus."
