• A couple of months after coming home, Ben (a youth worker from Leeds) wrote: "Why do Engage? Because its amazing, youll laugh, youll cry and youll see God move in amazing ways. Its affected me in such a positive way and really grown my relationship with God massively!" Read more of Ben's reflections here
• "I found it difficult remembering and learning bits of the language but was touched to see the joy in the peoples faces when I spoke their language. It made me think, if this is how excited they get when I simply say hello, how are you? how much more of an impact would it have when they can hear and read the word of God in their mother tongue!" Jennifer is a student at Belfast Art College. You can see some of the beautiful pictures she took during her trip to Cameroon on her blog

Previous Years...

Take a look at quotes and photos from the 2008 teams to Mali and Cameroon.

"Bible translation is a long process, and is frustrating at times, but I understand now that it's more than words on a page... You can't translate Jesus with just words; you have to translate Jesus with your whole life."
