"Living life with those at Lar Batista and seeing the world through their eyes broadened my worldview, allowed me to experience God differently, and helped me explore concepts such as love and simplicity. The friendships created will forever hold a special place in my heart."
~Sarah, Short term team member to Brazil
"Speaking as someone who feels fulfilled by physically serving others' needs, this experience taught me about the importance of building relationships--that it's better to interact and connect before jumping right into work. I met so many wonderful people and formed so many friendships, and I'm more grateful than words can express that I was encouraged to focus on these people instead of becoming consumed by 'getting the job done.'"

"My experience in Brazil was amazing. I fell in love with each of the children and left a piece of my heart when I left. I find myself so blessed to be part of such a loving (and large!!) family!"
~Julie, Short term team member to Brazil
"The Lord used this trip to open my eyes to his grace and power in ways I never thought possible. I went to Lar Batista as a member of a mission trip team and left a member of their family. They will hold a special place in my heart forever."
~ Amanda, Short term team member to Brazil
It was such a blessing to take a short term mission trip to the Isaac Children’s Home in Korea this Christmas season. The joy on their faces as they received Christmas gifts and shared their talents with us in their Christmas program was truly a Christmas gift for those of us on the trip. God is doing amazing things in the lives of these children through the director and staff of the home and the partnership they share with Orphanos.
