I have worked with EM in several different capacities and they truly have a heart for relationship and sharing the love of Jesus. I love the approach they take in missions- restoring and maintaining dignity for those we work with, keeping humility, and ultimately loving God and showing that through service and the building of relationships.

Experience Mission is a program that I recommend to anyone and everyone! I had one of my most life-changing experiences on their 3-Month Costa Rica Immersion missions trip. If you are considering partnering with this program or joining one of their teams, you should definitely do it! The heart of their organization goes absolutely unmatched.

The budgeting was sketchy and unorganized. My team leaders were not leaders at all. In the 3 months I was gone I saw them once a week if that. We were supposed to have one on one meetings with them every week on top of debriefs every Monday and weekly community projects together as well. That wasn’t the case at all. I felt isolated from my team and not listened to or even prioritized by leadership. This may not be the case for every team that goes with EM abroad. It just happened to be my experience with my specific team leaders. The country and the people were amazing but I would not partner with EM again or refer them to a friend.

I went on a 3 month Immersion program through Experience Mission to the Middle East a few years ago. This program provided the perfect balance of guidance and independence, knowledge and exploration, fun and seriousness. I recommend Experience Mission for anyone looking for a life changing, Christ-centered, immersive experience!

I had an incredible experience with the staff and the trip with Experience Mission; however, that is extremely subjective because I think going on a mission trip was in line with God’s plan for me. It’s a great organization and such wonderful experiences. It really has to be something you’re doing for Christ and with Him or it may otherwise not be so enjoyable. As an organization, and for what they’re doing, 5/5 stars and I will always always support them. But don’t let good reviews be a decision maker if you’re looking at missions! Really seek God’s plan, and if it’s not missions I strongly suggesting helping fund what He is doing through Experience Mission.

I love this organization. They get back to you super quick, answer every question, and are super personable. Experience Mission is passionate about building relationships, and they do so excellently. My life has been changed from the mission trip I took with them. They are intentional about loving like Jesus does, and they partner with amazing communities to help accomplish that mission. They helped ease all my worries and fears about leaving the country for the first time. I would 10/10 recommend.

I was apart of your Experience Mission Costa Rica Immersion program in the summer of 2018. Something I thought was interesting was during training, we were told not to bring gifts or give money to the locals. When I was there, there would be one week short-term teams that would come in and give gifts as prizes and things like that. In my opinion, this is wrong. Even though these teams were not mine, I saw them doing the opposite of what we had learned. I know that it is up to the immersion intern to deal with things of that nature, but it was never seen as a problem. Despite that, I enjoyed the experience of living with a host family and being able to learn more of their language and more about their culture.

Christ-Centered, well organized mission. I highly recommend.
