Missions to Mexico
Inter-Denominational Ministry
Large, Accommodating Mission Base is Located 4 hours South of San Diego
Your mission team will minister
at a specially chosen church
alongside Mexicans the week
you're here in Mexico. Through
this church you'll do your
ministries & outreaches.
By
strengthening and working
through the local church, your
fruit will remain long after
you're gone.
 This is our
philosophy of ministry that
ensures maximum fruit and
impact
.

In the mornings we offer a time to do
work
projects.  This is a great time to
serve by improving needy church
facilities.  By helping churches with
their buildings, and by helping new
churches we're planting, you're
participating in true and lasting results
for the people of Mexico.

Also in the mornings, we offer the
rare treat of participating in a
visitation/prayer ministry where you'll
visit homes to get to know how the
Mexicans live, see their culture up
close, pray, minister and share the
love of Christ with them.

For lunch, you'll have the option of
eating at the church you'll serve at.  
This is a highlight as the meals are
prepared by the ladies from the church
and are really tasty.  You'll not want to
miss this special treat.

In the afternoons your team will do a
Vacation Bible School
Outreach This
is a hands on time of ministry with
Mexican children ranging in ages from
3-12.  You'll play games, sing songs,
do a puppet show, participate in a
Bible Story, and do crafts & snacks.  
It's a favorite for all. We provide the
VBS program so preparation is easy.

We also offer a Youth Focus Tract
instead of  VBS's if your team would
prefer to work with teens.

Several evenings during the week
you'll participate in
Community
Outreaches.
You'll sing, share
testimonies, do a puppet
show,  show an evangelistic movie
(provided by us) and more.  Be  
prepared to be touched by the
Mexican people you'll serve.

We also have close-by beaches
that are sandy and little used.  You'll
have plenty of free time for this rich
treasure so plan accordingly.

In addition to ministry, you'll have
the opportunity to see and experience
another culture up close.
You'll be
immersed in the culture, language
and people of Mexico
.  You'll also
have several free evenings, along with
a free day on Friday, for plenty of fun
and cultural experiences.

Here's how we can help you!
Who you'll be serving with.
We're currently in our 11th year living on the mission field with an addition 5 years experience in leading 2-3 mission
teams a year to Mexico.  With this unique gift of being long term missionaries, God is showing us the most healthy
and impactful way to involve short term missions teams in the Great Commission.  Our purpose is to use our short
term mission organization to incorporate youth mission trips, family mission trips, adult mission trips, teen mission
trips, medical, construction and any other kind of a mission trip in our long term missionary work.  Rest assured that
your group is needed and will be utilized wisely!  

We provide a clean, safe, ministry base for your group to stay at while serving on your short term
missions trip to Mexico.
Our ministry base is situated in a large open area with a distant view of the ocean.  It provides the perfect setting for
short term missionaries to stay while serving in Mexico.  You can feel secure that your team will be in a safe, fenced
in area with no threats of any kind.  It's located

San Quintin Valley of Baja California, Mexico.  Facilities include: furnished kitchens (with stoves, refrigerators, pots
and pans, and etc.), dining rooms, meeting rooms, hot showers, flushing toilets, dorms with cushions, campfire area,
recreational area, and more.  It provides a safe haven to return to after a full day of activities.  The ministry base can
accommodate around 160.  

The cost is very affordable   Adults/Youth - $225, Children - $200, Pre-School - Free

training resources for your ministries, culture awareness, and more.
Our large online coordinator's manual  will clearly walk you through everything you'll need to know to plan your short
term mission trip to Mexico, get your mission team ready for ministry, and prepare them for cross cultural sensitivity.

We coordinate your schedule according to your groups abilities & desires.
Because we live in Mexico and have a year around ministry to the pastors & churches in our region, we have a good
pulse on the needs here.  We also have 15 years of experience in working with short-term mission teams.  We
provide help and coordination with your Vacation Bible School, Work Projects, Outreaches, Evangelism, the meals at
the church you'll serve at, and more.  We coordinate everything before your arrival and take care of all the details for

We will serve alongside of you and act as your hosts. If you need help in any area of your mission trip, we're here to
come alongside of you and help out.

We can customize your mission trip to fit your style and abilities.
The middle name of our short term mission organization is flexibility.  We can customize your schedule to
accommodate you in almost any way you would like.  A short term mission trip to Mexico can have an emphasis
towards a Youth mission trip, High School, Jr. High, Teens, Students, College, medical or a Family mission trip.  Also,
your focus in Mexico can be towards Vacation Bible School for children or a Youth Focus for teens.

We provide Spanish help if you need it.
Because we live here in Mexico, we all speak fluent Spanish and can assist you if you lack translators or the ability to
speak Spanish.  We also have
Spanish help in our website to help you as well.

The weather here in Baja California is pleasant year around.
Contrary to what many might think about Mexico, the area in which we're located, San Quintín, Baja California, is very
pleasant year around.  Winter highs are in the 70s, lows in the 50s.  Summer highs are in the 80s, lows in the 60s.  
With temperatures mild year around, short term mission trip opportunities can be made anytime during the year.  We
also have close-by beaches that are clean, sandy, and little used.

We provide a unique schedule with multifaceted ministries and cultural proximity.
We have worked hard to develop a ministry schedule that provides maximum impact for mission trips, is culturally
sensitive, and gets you serving right alongside the nationals of Mexico.  

We understand your position as a Group Coordinator.
For 5 years prior to serving as long term missionaries in Mexico, we used to lead 2-3l mission trips a year to Mexico.  
We have organized youth mission trips, family mission trips and college mission trips.  We understand what its like as
a Group Coordinator.  We know that you want to truly serve, and at the same time, see your youth, family, and adult's
lives changed.  Part of the purpose of our mission agency is to help you bring about real life change in your Team
Member's lives.  We have also put together a large
Online Coordinator's Manual for help in preparing your team.

All kinds of short term mission trip opportunities are offered.  Whether they are: Youth, Family, Adult,
High School, or Jr. High short term mission groups, all are needed!
We are set up to handle any kind of short term missions trip you might want to put together.  We offer youth mission
trips, family mission trips, medical mission trips and general Christian short term mission opportunities for
youth,
family
and adults.  Our short term mission organization uses and needs all types.

We're a family run ministry.
Because we're a family run ministry we can be casual and flexible.  You won't be dealing with a large mission agency
with impersonal people and complicated regulations.  We're warm, friendly, and easy to deal with.  We'd like to invite
you to participate in a short term mission trip to Mexico with us.  A mission trip to Mexico can change both the lives of
those in your group and those in Mexico as well.

Testimonies from previous short term mission team leaders

"Missions to Mexico is a leader’s dream come true.  The website is so comprehensive that the team is
well equipped long before we arrive in the area where we will be serving.  To have so much help from the
full-time, on-site missionaries is priceless.  We have a connection that we can trust to set the mission trip
in motion for us.  The daily plans have been set up ahead of time but have enough flexibility that we can
fit the trip to our group’s needs.   Missions to Mexico is especially good for teams or team members who
have not experienced a mission trip before.    I believe if we give students an enjoyable first experience
on a mission trip they will be more likely to be missions minded the rest of their life.  The compound is
quite comfortable and safe.  The kitchens are very well equipped and there are flushing toilets and hot
showers.  It doesn’t get much better than that.  Missions to Mexico is a great place!"

Sandra Covarrubias, Group Coordinator
Redding Christian Church, Redding, California

"We would like to thank you for your work.  I got much feedback stating how much everyone appreciated
the time you took to explain things to us and your obvious servants heart.  It was an honor to serve with
your family.  After leading many short term trips, I must say you have it right.  The mix of work projects
and visitation is great for meeting everyone's gifts and desires to serve."  

Jeff Breneman, Youth Worker
Risen Lord Community Church, St. Luis, Missouri  

"We have brought groups of high school students and their families down for six years now.  Our desire
has been to partner with established churches and ministries in Baja to encourage and support God’s
work there.  Missions to Mexico coordinates opportunities to work side by side with believers in Baja.  
You can expect to be blessed as well as to be a blessing.  We highly recommend Missions to Mexico as
a short-term missions opportunity that is connected to the ongoing work of God in Mexico."  

Kenny Clark, Pastor
Grace Evangelical Free Church, La Mirada, California  

“I have been taking short term missions teams to Mexico for over 15 years.  For the past four years I
have had the pleasure of working with Missions to Mexico.  Without exception our experience has been
fantastic, and the ministry opportunities combined with Mike’s orientation and debriefing times have been
life changing for our students.  I know Missions to Mexico has a wonderful reputation with the local
churches they serve, and our time and resources invested there have been put to great use.  The
ministry base is very well thought out and maintained, the experience working alongside a local church is
deeply meaningful and the entire experience is truly a joy.  I wholeheartedly recommend connecting with
Mike and his family for your next short term missions trip.”  

Aaron Box, Youth Pastor
Seaside Christian Church, Seaside, Oregon  

"I have been on many short term trips throughout the world. I think Missions to Mexico has done the best
job I have seen anywhere in integrating the needs of the visiting groups with those of the local churches;
as well as assuring that the Gospel of Christ is presented in an authentic manner. "

Dr. Andrew Floren, Group Leader
Bethesda Lutheran Brethren Church, Eau Claire, Wisconsin

"Working with Missions to Mexico has been a great experience for our church's short-term mission
teams.  I have led teams that have partnered with Missions to Mexico for many years now, and their
commitment to loving, serving and blessing the Mexican people in San Quintin Valley is obvious.  
Missions to Mexico is spreading the love of Christ throughout the San Quintin Valley by allowing short-
term mission teams from the United States to minister alongside local Mexican churches.  Relationships
with the Mexican Christians are developed as we sing, pray and reach others together for Christ.  God is
truly blessing Missions to Mexico, and we are proud to partner with them every year as we help advance
the gospel of Christ in San Qunitin Valley.  I can't wait until next year!"

Dr. Aaron Frey, Group Leader
Grace Gathering, New Haven, Indiana

"Our church has worked with Missions to Mexico for several years.  I have been most impressed with the
way they coordinate our time while we are working with the local church.  It is an excellent opportunity for
everyone to experience hands on evangelism with people that are in such need of the Word of God.  It is
especially exciting that our group is able to build relationships with the people that we are there to serve.  
We have had participants in our group from age 2 to 77, and there seems to be something for everyone
to do within their comfort level.  The facilities at the missions base are excellent and make for a great
place to relax after serving in the local community.  I would highly recommend Missions to Mexico if your
group is looking for a well rounded missions experience with the ultimate goal of introducing people to
the saving grace of Jesus Christ."

Brandon Chase, Group Coordinator
Canby Christian Church, Canby Oregon

"We have sent teams to work with Missions to Mexico for many years.  Each time the teams come home
they are inspired to live lives more focused on eternity.  They get involved in our VBS's, our missions
teams and in reaching out to unbelievers in their own culture.  We believe these short term mission trips
have a profound impact on the culture of our church.  I know that you have many missions opportunities
to be involved with, but I strongly urge you to consider getting involved with Missions to Mexico.  While
you might not be able to send a team to Russia or Africa, like us you might be able to send one to
Mexico.  When you roof a church or hold a child on your lap during a VBS lesson, you directly invest in
God's work in them and you!"
