Highlights of convention evaluations
Generally ...
“I found it amazing that, in the midst of the current economic situation, the mood was so upbeat – when it could have easily been the opposite.”
"We always come home with hope and feel so uplifted! What a great organization."
"I count valuable the opportunity to meet and hear from persons from the countries MEDA is working with, especially the women from Afghanistan and Pakistan."
"We invited our family to attend with us as a Christmas gift. They were pleased with the quality of meetings and dedication to MEDA’s ministries. It was a good investment for us as parents. We told them why we wanted them to go along with us, because MEDA has been an important part of our lives and our growth in reaching others around the world."
"God spoke to me here."
