What people are saying...
"Latreia has been a blessing to our Youth Group. They have provided an excellent Missions Trip that carefully balances heart and mind preparation, service, cultural experiences, team building, reflection, play and rest. Our students come away refreshed and eager to continue a life of service in the worship of God, and that is a priceless gift to offer any ministry; namely, a right understanding of service. We are not seeking to be great humanitarians, we are fulfilling the call to serve because through it, He receives glory, and we become partakers in bringing God glory. O the joy of bringing others to meet our King!" Jeremy, Youth Leader, Cedar Rapids, IA
"God’s blessings as you continue to serve in the city! You are a blessing to those you serve in the city and those you serve from the suburbs!" Martin, Faith Formation Minister, Eden Prairie, MN
"Sometimes we think the world's problems are so big that one person can't really make a big difference but when I see what people here in Minneapolis have done and can do, I know that these people have had a HUGE impact on their community. And this experience has really shown me a great deal about other cultures and diversity in the cities." Alyssa, college student participant
