CLIENTS

I just can't thank you enough for helping us out.  The people were so nice... they went from being complete strangers to feeling like I've known them forever.

What a blessing!  My birthday is Monday and what a present.

We want to thank you for all the time and work you and the generous youth and adults who came and worked so hard. May the Lord continue to bless your ministry and the lives that you touch.

I am overwhelmed... words cannot express my gratitude... 
   

 

God bless you all! The ramp was so needed!  The group that was here are the most previous people I've met.  Where their foot have trod this is truly holy ground.

Thank you so much for all you have done for me and my family.  God bless! 

They were the nicest group of Christian people and we all got along good together... You made two 'old people' soon to be 80 and 87 very happy.

When you come you take a piece of our hearts, but you give us back some of yours too.

We would like to thank you for everything you have done for us.  Our house looks beautiful.

                  Thank you so much for your help!  We need more people like you!

 This is a miracle!  It’s done wonders for my wife.

I want to take this time to tell everybody who was part of helping me get a new roof for my home a very special thank you.  It has meant the world to me.  Everyday looks brighter knowing that problem is fixed.  Everybody was wonderful.  The girls, ladies were just super.  Thank you so much.

Thank you so very much for the beautiful ramp that was built for me.  Just when I asked God for someone to help, your name was given to me.  I thank God everyday for your help.  God bless you and all the young people and adults who did such a wonderful job for me.  God bless each of you! 

We are so thankful – these people are so wonderful!  My daughter cries continuously.  She used to cry because she couldn’t get into her house… now she cries because of the work you’re doing for her.

I cannot say enough ‘thank yous’ for the kindness the SOWERS have shown.  I sit here in tears trying to convey to you what’s in my heart.  I was/am greatly moved by their kindness.  It’s been a long time since someone treated me nice.  … In addition, their kindness is helping in renewing my faith, which started faltering when my mother suffered for a couple years in the hospital before passing away.  Your volunteers came ready with their own tools and supplies.  They worked in the heat and at times in the rain.  They worked and played well together.  Our home felt empty each time the folks would leave.  Once again, thank you and may God bless each and every one.

Thanks to all who worked at our church this summer.  The ramp was a dream come true.  God will surely
bless each of you.

 

 

SOWER PARTICIPANTS (both adults and youth)

Thank you for your generous hospitality and helpfulness during our stay at Epworth Center!

It was a joy to be here, to meet you all.  We feel we made a difference to one of God's families.

Yummy food.  Thank you!

SOWER rocks!!!

Overall it was a terrific experience and you are all wonderful!

Doing something so little as painting a house can help people in huge ways.

We worked hard all week and I'm sore and tired but I feel amazing inside.

I learned the ways faith can help you persevere through struggles.  As the week progressed we learned about the many struggles our family had, but they were still upbeat and happy.  It showed me that faith really gives you something to hold onto when things get rough.

I learned how fortunate we are and that sometimes we are an answer to prayer.

Sometimes it's good to get out of your comfort zone.

Thank you for an experience that will be with me for a lifetime.

All in all it was a wonderful first experience for a mission trip!

Continue being the wonderful blessing you are for us and continue sharing your spiritual gifts with others.  You do great work!

The whole experience was awesome.

The trip was well planned and I really enjoyed the trip and facilities... I think the food was excellent.

I had lots of fun!

You were all such a pleasure to work with!  Thank you for your hospitality!

Keep up the great work - you are a blessing to SOWER groups as well as to the families and churches.  Thank you for this great opportunity!

We had a great week.  Thanks so much for all the work you put into this ministry.  We were blessed once again to be here!

I love the open and loving personalities here at the Epworth Center.  I was welcomed and felt like this was my new home!

Your facility is very nice.  It has been one of the best places that I have been during my involvement with youth fellowship. 

Our expectations were far exceeded (with the meals)... Your program is run very well.  All your people are wonderful, it added greatly to our servanthood experience. 

Everyone was very accommodating.  Thanks for making this mission very memorable and meaningful.

Our group truly enjoyed not only the mission 'work' but also the relationship building. 

This is my second year and I've enjoyed my stay very much.  Thank you for what you do here.

Great food... great organization... awesome!

I had a blast!

You did a good job selecting families in need.

I thought it was super-fun!

You and your crew did the best job this year. (This is year 6 for us!)

This was the best experience I’ve ever had.  It has made me feel so good.

For my first work mission I thought it was a good experience with good and challenging projects.

Thanks bunches!  It was such an experience!

The entire staff was amazingly gracious and giving and I greatly appreciate your devotion to missions.

Good planning for the job.  I appreciated the flexibility to accommodate our group.

Working with you was very good.  All questions were answered.  Overall it was a good experience and we did enjoy ourselves.  You have a great camp.

Thank you for taking care of me.

Had another great time, built another wonderful ramp, hope the home owner enjoys it!

I had a really good time at Epworth and I hope to come back sometime in the future!

The staff did a very good job making us feel welcome.

Very worthwhile project.  I would come again in a heartbeat.

I enjoyed my time here to serve and to learn!

This is a great way to do mission work.  It is a healthy balance of support for the group and freedom for the group to develop its own character.

The people here were really nice and I enjoyed myself.

I had fun this week!  Thanks!

The staff was so welcoming – I felt like part of the family!

Lou you are the awesomest cook ever!  We love you!

Your food was spectacular!  Yummm!

 Program at Center was solid.  Our project family was welcoming and very supportive.  The church that hosted our meals went above and beyond. 

I had a great experience!

Very fun, entertaining.

You were all a big help.  Thank you a lot for all you did.

I had a lot of fun.  Thanks for everything!  I’ll think of you.  You’ll be in my prayers!

We really enjoyed getting to meet everybody and would do this again!!!

I had the best time.  It was so much fun!

Once again it was a wonderful experience!
