"I like convenience and nice people"
"I highly recommend Face to Face International for helping your church in fulfilling the Great Commission internationally through short-term mission trips. First, you can have peace of mind that you're working with friendly and passionate experts in short-term. Face to Face knows its stuff and has the experience to help simplify getting from A to B, regardless of where B might be. From a purely practical standpoint, Face to Face allows me to work smarter, rather than harder. As a pastor I don't have a whole lot of spare time on my hands! Face to Face takes care of the administrative and logistical details that has the potential to burn a team leader and team out before arrival on the field. I like convenience and nice people. I focus on the ministry objectives, and they focus on the logistics. Plus, I like working with nice people!"

"Very helpful and thorough for first-time travelers"
"As a former geography teacher and traveler to all seven continents, I was so impressed with your booklets on Guatemala. It was very helpful and thorough for first-time travelers. I told my pastor how good it was — even down to the flat drain stopper! Face to Face really did an excellent job!"

"A great service"
“Face to Face is a great service to those of us who lead short-term teams! The savings in time and administrative costs have been invaluable to me. I also love the availability of their comprehensive mission ministry insurance along with website exposure and those excellent country preparation booklets! All of these make our trips more successful. It is really nice having this ministry help keep me on track as team leader! I highly recommend Face to Face International to short-term leaders!”

"They are specialists!"
"We are deeply committed to Face to Face (F2F). We took our initial trip to Guatemala with the help of F2F and our local church, and our lives were radically changed! Since then, I have taken trips with F2F to Jordan, the Holy Land, Turkey, Iraq and Cuba! Diane and I would strongly urge your church to use F2F! They are specialists!"

"Do at least one short-term trip in your life"
"I would encourage everyone to do at least one short-term mission trip in their life. What a blessing it is to gain a new perspective and share God’s love in a country that may be a little out of your comfort zone. What we all find is that as we share God’s love with others, His love is poured out on us as well. All I can say is that for many years now I have been blessed by Haiti."

"A real gift from God"
"I had to trust Him for everything—and He provided. I believe we were able to let the children know that we cared for them and God cared for them. God enabled me to be stronger than my usual self. I really connected with many people I met and I learned they feel and hope and believe—just as I do. The trip arrangements, collection of funds were all handled well by Face to Face. To get a chance to touch the lives of people and have them touch yours is a real gift from God."

"Whatever way He wants"
"I left for Nicaragua with a dream to go back to school to become a physician's assistant…I leave Nicaragua with a passion to serve Christ and His people in whatever way He wants. I left to serve and to bless, but I return blessed seventyfold. We are broken vessels, filthy rags; but He uses us anyway for His glory and His purpose."

"They need hope"
"The people in the villages of Vietnam that we visited currently have needs that are no different than the needs of other normal villages: clean source of water for disease prevention, adequate food supply for the family, education for the children, basic health care, to name a few. But most important of all, they need hope, not only for a better future during their lifetime but also for eternity. We appreciate Dr. Don Orvis and the staff of Face to Face International for the help of his organization in facilitating this exploratory trip, and as Dr. Orvis toured the country with us and provided insights from his wealth of experience."

"Great preparation booklets"
"On this ministry trip I most enjoyed the people, especially the children. I loved time in the villages, clinics, & small towns. They are a wonderful warm & gentle people. They have huge problems—poverty, HIV/AIDS, family in crisis, unemployment, etc. They remain hopeful. Face to Face did a great job—were very encouraging, helpful, and all done in a timely fashion. Face to Face also provided great preparation booklets on South Africa."
