We took a small team to Mexico, and we put on a vacation bible school style ministry time for local children. Sessions included Bible stories, art projects, and games. Several children invited Jesus into their hearts. While we were there, they received much-needed rain after a several year drought. We were excited to celebrate that with the local people. Finally, we spent one day ministering to children at a local orphanage. They were absolutely precious, soaking up every bit of love and affection we could give.

-Safety policy: We will never go anywhere that we don't have long term, established relationships with the local ministry. If our team on the ground can commit to our safe passage and keeping we will go. They have the best sense of the region. While taken into consideration, we do not base base our decisions solely on governmental warnings.
Leisure Time
We feel strongly that when joining us on any mission trip you should experience the country and culture. We intentionally build three days of leisure into every trip. While in Mexico, you will venture into the Mexican countryside and stay at a quaint hotel nestled in a nature preserve. It boasts a fantastic restaurant, swimming pool, zip lines, rock climbing, repelling, and more. You will also have the option of trekking further up the mountain for cave and waterfall exploration. The small village towns visited along the way give authentic, Mexican cultural exposure and an opportunity to purchase local, handmade goods.
