Testimonials
“The impact on my life was so deep. It was amazing to see how people were living in the community and to see how empowerment changed their lives for generations. We went to Kairos School and saw kids with so much dignity and pride in their school. We learned how crucial access to education was to the community.
If you go on a Help One Now trip, it will totally flip the way that you think about mission trips. It’s not us coming to those countries to bring the truth and prosperity, but it’s just coming alongside the people who are already doing the work there. The Malpartida family has been working in that community for so long, and now we get to join them in that. We get to see the transformation that is taking place. It’s amazing; I can’t wait to go again.”

“I returned home from my (DR) trip with so much hope. I have been on other mission trips in the past where I was so worried for those we were leaving behind and what the future held for them. That was absolutely not the case this time. What Rod and the community are doing in La Vega has filled me with so much hope. To see an organization doing missions the right way, how I truly think Jesus is calling us to do it, was life-changing, and I don’t throw that phrase around lightly.”
