About This Trip….

This trip is designed to be a ‘first taste’ of international mission work.
 
While we will engage in construction work, medical aid, 
and evangelism in colonias (neighborhoods), 
the goal of the trip is to familiarize participants
with the serious economic and social issues surrounding poverty in Mexico rather than a rush to complete a specified construction project. 

We are aware that there is always more that we can do for others 
and additional mission work to be done. 
Our trip is a starting place, not an end.
 

Join us!
