Mexico Missions Trip
Our Mexico missions is an annual trip we take for the opportunity to serve alongside fellow believers in a global context. The trip consists of two days of travel and three days serving in different capacities.
What will we do there?
As a group, we will travel in vans across the border and stay at our partner ranch that is gated.
Serve Day 1: spend time at Genesis Diez camp, serving orphans and sharing God’s love with them
Serve Day 2: fellowship and worship as we connect with a local church
Serve Day 3: partner with Walk the Narrow Road Ranch, supporting their ministry through practical work on the ranch
