Comments
"I absolutely loved my experience as a volunteer. I am so impressed with this organization and their mission.
Our trip was a fantastic blend of meaningful service and fun adventure. I plan to go again!"
-Marcie Frogley
"I came with my school for a special service trip. Our group worked hard and played hard. It was a fantastic experience!"
- Ethan (15)
"I am very impressed with the Bates family and how they have sacrificed to lift and serve others.
Our group felt so good jumping in and helping with projects. We were hot, sweaty and tired by the end of the day and filled with the joy of serving others. It was awesome!"
-Sydney (17)
"Working alongside Karen and her kids and becoming immersed in their pursuit of genuinely loving others and simply trying to make another person’s life a little better, helps you lay aside all pretenses and simply get lost in the love of mankind.
What I loved most about my time with Karen and her family was the feeling that I was making a real difference and that I was truly needed and helpful in the cause.
I wasn’t just another cog in the wheel of a big machine. I was needed and the work couldn’t get done without me.
What wonderful feelings - to be needed and to feel genuine interest in lifting another.
What a great experience that I can’t recommend highly enough!
-Jeff Hymas
"As the group coordinator, I cannot say enough wonderful things about Karen and her incredible team.
Their communication was exceptional from start to finish, and they made coordinating more than 50 volunteers traveling to Mexico feel effortless.
Under Karen’s guidance, our group worked diligently and gained a powerful vision of her mission. .
We had the privilege of working on meaningful projects and spending time with some of the youth she serves.
And of course, there was plenty of fun along the way—refreshing swims in a local cenote, beautiful beaches, and unforgettable memories.
If you are looking for an opportunity to help your youth engage in real, life-changing experiences, I highly and wholeheartedly recommend a Find Your Path mission trip. It is an experience that will stay with them forever."
-Ann Watkins
"We had an amazing experience at Find Your Path Mission. Our group of about 30 volunteers worked hard and came away truly inspired by the vision, faith, and determination of the Bates family.
Their commitment to serving these kids is remarkable, and being part of it was both humbling and motivating.
If you’re considering going—go!
It will change your perspective, remind you of the impact you can make, and allow you to be part of something that leaves a lasting and meaningful difference in the lives of the children they serve."
-Karen McKensie
