Just wanted to inform your company of our experience using your Mission Kit.
On the morning of departure from the airport for our 9-day short-term mission trip to Ecuador in October
2006 I gave out the key chains and devotional booklets to each member of our team as they entered the
airport. Some immediately tucked them away and other’s looked oddly at me as to “what is this”. I just
said, “keep them in your carry-on, I’ll explain later when we meet at the gate.” We had our first devotional
time sitting in the floor in a circle at the gate area of the airport while waiting to board our flight. We were
a constant stare from other passengers waiting to board, but the entire team was moved by the purpose
and of the mission kit. That time provided us with several opportunities to share what we were doing
(planting seeds). During the entire stay in Ecuador we had morning devotionals on the different topics
on the key chain. It’s been almost a year and we are planning now to go back with a different group in
October of 2007 and even today I still see our members with the key chains and devotional tags – only
now they have their car keys attached. We have shared the news of your mission kits with the entire
mission ministry department at our church for use of your kits. Thank you guys for a such a great
devotional tool. It’s a great mission trip tool and daily reminder as well as a great means of opportunity
to plant seeds when people see the key chain and ask about it.
In Christ,

Serving in Romania : One night on the 2006 Trip, we were having our nightly devotion in the park. A
homeless street kid, named "Dizzy" by us, came forward. He was apparently on some sort of drugs. We
invited him to our devotional time and fed him some pizza. After the devotion, we felt burdened by the
Holy Spirit to pray for this young man. Some 30-45 minutes later and who knows how many mosquito
bites, we were still praying. When we finished, and after some counseling by members of our group,
"Dizzy" accepted the Lord as his Savior. That is where our vision of a youth camp comes in. These kids
need a place to be discipled after they come to now the Lord. That is our Hope and that is our Dream.
We want you to be apart of it. Pray about your involvement, you could make an eternal difference in
someones life, there are literally thousands of people in the same situation right now. This kit was used
to make our daily devotions quite memorable and also played a part in helping to save the lost!

Eight people went to Sabine Pass, Texas in March 2006 to help with disaster recovery from
Hurricane Rita. We worked at the Sabine Pass UMC Building out more Sunday School and
community space and continuing work on the sanctuary that was flooded during the storm. We
used the Mission Key Tags and the accompanying devotions at the end of the day and they were a
great way to start conversations and help everyone to decompress and keep focused on why we
were there. All the team members wore the key tags throughout the mission and I've seen them
worn since we got back. I got a lot of positive feedback about the kit.
Thanks you so much for your ministry! The Mission Key Tags were just what I needed as a team
leader because it was all put together and
ready to go.

Just wanted to say thanks for the great devotional tags. Our kids loved them and it made for great
discussion and reminders for all trip long.
We let some students lead the devotionals and it made them even more connected. Thanks for
allowing others to use this tool. God bless,

I think they’re great and would recommend them.

The Key Tags were very popular within our team. They provided a starting point for daily devotions.
Post-trip, they serve as a reminder of a spiritual
pilgrimage. Personally, I still have mine hanging from by computer/book bag. I'd say they were a
hit for us.

The Key Tags were a very useful tool for our trip-as were the included devotions. They made
leading devotions on a mission trip a "no-stress"
responsibility. Having a personal keychain was also a fun souvenir from the trip!

I liked the Key Tags a lot. I particularly thought they were a great thing for the kids to have.
Everyone likes something tangible, but the kids almost
need that. It was a great way to pull the whole group together and focus us on God's word. We
have continued to use them - the kids like to hook
them on their shorts/backpacks…

Great tool…I felt that the readings/devotional that went with them were great. They gave focus to
our day and got us ready for ministry. Quality
looking. Loved the fish carabineer. Yes, would use them again…definitely!
