We work with many wonderful hosts around the world. Our ministry would not be possible without their dedication and commitment to hosting and mentoring. Here is what several say about our teams:
I want to thank you (Jill Hagen) and the guys in the Band for coming to Elliston and Avon this month. To say that the trip was successful would be a gross understatement. The people of both churches were very blessed by the ministry and message you all shared. The music and worship were a true blessing. I can only give God the Glory for the turnout that we saw on March 14 at the school gym in Elliston. There were over 70 people in attendance, with the bulk of those being high school and junior high school aged kids. We have heard nothing but great things about you and the band, your music, message and overall show of love and concern for the choices the kids make. Many have asked, “When are they coming back?” That is awesome!
Again thanks for the time invested here. You all were gracious guests, personable, professional and Christ like. What more could we ask for? I do hope you will keep us mind when you are thinking of coming back this way. You and the band are always welcome to come and visit us at our home. Thanks again.
Dave Carroll, Area Missionary, American Missionary Fellowship.
"How is the Encore Team doing? I miss them. They were so humble & cooperative. I think God really used that great spirit in many ways as well as the team's wonderful talents. I have no words to describe how much I appreciated this team."

"Hi there
"What a wonderful blessing they were. We enjoyed each one personally, and as a team they were such a strength as they ministered (here) at the VBS and then at camp. I personally have the most to be thankful for, I think. I directed my first-ever camp more by necessity than choice, and it went very well, thanks to the Lord's wonderful provision with your team. Crystelle agreed to co-direct with me, and she completely took over the activities part of the program. The rest were very capable counselors and wholly involved in the program. We had a great week, and we know that kids made first time professions and we know that others who had received Christ as Saviour other years were challenged to take a new look at what that means in their lives. I know there will be eternal rewards for their efforts here.
"They were such a great bunch. Cheerful, willing, caring, TALENTED, versatile, encouraging, fun, committed. What a blessing once again this year to have a team to help with the ministry here."

I just wanted to say thank you to the team (Friends & Followers 66) who came last Friday night,
though I wasn't there, I heard great things about it. Alex, the team
leader, was very helpful on the phone when I spoke to him and my
volunteers told me he and the whole team did an excellent job on Friday
night. Thank you again for sharing, we hope to host your team again in
the future!
