"I am a two-time veteran of JYMO. At the past two JYMO's I have further explored my relationship with God and met tons of new people that have changed my life. Both the students and adults I've met will be life long friends. Also, at JYMO I learned and participated in legislation that applies directly to youth and the structure of the United Methodist Church. This exposure prepared me to serve on the General Commission on Communication (UMCOM). Because of JYMO, I will be attending McMurry University, a United Methodist University in Abilene, TX in the fall."

"Upon reaching JYMO in 2008, I wasn't quite sure what to expect.  I've always been really active in the United Methodist conference youth events in Arkansas, but a jurisdiction?  Seemed liked a whole different ballgame, at least before I got there.  After a few hours at JYMO, my perspective totally changed.  Meeting people from very different walks of life and with different religious or cultural practices than mine or even from others in my state was an enlightening and spiritually strengthening experience.  I can't wait to experience it again this summer!"
