The "Never the Same" missions trip is unique in many ways, but one we’re particularly thrilled about is that we have about a 25 percent return rate among our alumni. That’s HUGE! What keeps teens and adults coming back year after year? I’d say it's the love and acceptance they feel from our leaders, plus the connection they make with other Christian teens from around the world. It keeps them going all year until the next summer’s trip. For many, it becomes a reunion of sorts. We’ve come full circle now with teens who went with us years ago returning as medical staff and adult leaders. That’s amazing to me. Their lives were changed through our trip, and now they’re making that investment in the lives of other teens coming behind them. We thank God for that.
