Generous Hearts
Mission trips and service opportunities led by Br. Adam Neri.
God can change your entire life in one moment.
I first heard God tell me I could be a spiritual father beyond what natural fatherhood could give on a mission trip to Tanzania in 2001. That was the seed of what became my vocational call: love God first above all and love his beautiful people.
We believe that Jesus, who meets the deepest desire of each person, wants to love this world, from college students and young professionals to the poor and marginalized as well.
Mission trips that form generous hearts
My vision for helping people engage Generous Hearts has three levels of influence: the world we live in through international mission trips, the country we live in through domestic mission trips, and the city we live in through local service to the poor.
Stories from the mission field
Peru, March 2022
Valeria served in Peru and met people shaped by addiction, illness, injury, hardship, and hope.
The Lord showed me that my purpose was not to save people's lives or solve their hunger, but to go and just love them and support them.
Valeria
Peru, May 2022
Carly went into the trip hearing that she would come back a different person, and discovered that change as a gift.
We've been home for 2 weeks now and I can tell you I am absolutely different. I can't really explain it, but I am a totally different person, and I like it.
Carly
Uganda, May 2024
Mark entered the trip wondering whether one man could make a difference, and heard the Lord ask for his yes.
All I bring is myself. And He said to me, that's enough. Give me your yes and I can accomplish more through you and in you that you could ever imagine.
Mark
From those we serve with
Sr. Gianna Mara Lemire reflects on the impact of mission trips to her community in the jungle in Peru.
The Brothers and the students that come, especially in the way they interact with the people, with the attention and the dignity they give to them, really open up their heart to think, wow, if these people love me in this way, maybe it is true that God can really love me.
Sr. Gianna, Servants of the Pierced Hearts of Jesus and Mary
Help make the next mission possible
The mission trips Br. Adam has led have impacted not only the lives of the people they serve, but the lives of the students as well. In the dark, unknown, and uncomfortable places, the Lord reveals his love.
Your donation opens a door for the Lord to show His love and generosity and to change lives forever. With your help, students can encounter the Lord in profound ways through service to the poor and in their own hearts.
"5 to 10 days on a high-impact trip will be worth several years of what day-to-day life offers." Will you give generously today to provide these trips to change lives?
