"The Navajo Discovery Trip was an amazing opportunity to explore the Navajo Nation while gaining knowledge and fostering a relationship with our Word Made Flesh partners there. It is incredible to be able to see students gain a better understanding of Christ and see the vastness of His creativity through seeing the beauty of the land and learning about the history and Navajo culture that goes along with it.” 

"Going into this trip, I had no idea how life changing this experience would be. During our time working with the Word Made Flesh staff, I was deeply moved by the faith and commitment that these beautiful people have put into creating a safe place for the kids in these neighborhoods. Hearing their stories has given me a better understanding of what I want to do with my future as a follower of Christ. I’m ready to find my next steps to help serve people that God calls us to love."

“I had the privilege of going on a summer service trip to Romania and Moldova with Word Made Flesh the May after my sophomore year. I learned countless lessons on this trip, particularly about God's graciousness and my finiteness, and much about cultural humility. I loved being in a totally different culture, especially visiting the Orthodox Christian churches. It was amazing to see the many ways that people worship God. We visited a number of monasteries while there. At each monastery, there was a cemetery. When each woman became a nun, she was given a plot in the cemetery. Each nun tended her plot in the cemetery as a garden. This was such a powerful metaphor for me, seeing these women who have wholly committed their lives to God and are cultivating beautiful flowers until they become one with the earth and meet God face-to-face. I began to picture my Christian life as that cemetery plot, recognizing my lifelong commitment to loving and serving God and continuing to grow into the woman God created me to be until I meet him. Faith is a lifelong process, not just a one-time commitment." 

“My time in Bolivia has vastly changed my faith from one solely focused on trying to hear God in my individual times of prayer or Bible study to one that recognizes Christ in my community. In this community I see the Church. I see a strong community of believers centered in faith working to proclaim Christ’s Kingdom. "
