What volunteers have to say about us

My conclusion of this year is: I have learned so much! I have learned much about myself, I have gotten to know a new culture, I have learned much about my relationship with God, gotten to know new people, and so much more!

Through MDS, I had the opportunity to share God’s love with people in a practical way. I have noticed that practical love can move and change an incredible amount in people.

Above all, I was concerned with relationships during this time. Both the short-term encounters and the friendships that have lasted for years in the meantime have enriched and shaped me.
