Ministry Partners...

"The jaded perspective of those who've been overwhelmed by all that is ugly and unkind in the world is challenged by the Light that simply radiates from the YOM team members. I can't begin to really communicate how thankful we are for the time the YOM team spent with us. YOM is certainly doing a fantastic work with a far-reaching impact." - Lee Ogle, Director, Crossroads Shelter

"What a blessing to have YOM groups with us. They were involved in many ministries and what a difference they made! People in our area are still talking about how their lives were touched, helped, and changed. Their impact was awesome." - Jerry Moore, Pastor, FBC - Huntersville, WV

"I thank God for YOM because God is using you to help bring the Body of Christ together. Across denominational lines, people worked together in love and harmony. That's how Jesus said it should be done." - Chip Glover, Pastor, New Covenant Community Church, New Orleans, LA

"The United Methodist SE Disaster Recovery has worked with several YOM teams. They are always enthusiastic and willing to engage in the task at hand. We appreciate the high level of flexibility, participation, and organization the YOM groups exhibit. Thanks for partnering with us. - Ashlie, Disaster Recovery, New Orleans, LA
