Go Missions to Mexico Inter-Denominational Ministry
|
Large 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 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 philosophy of ministry 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. 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 real 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. Note: Those who want to continue
working on the "Work Projects", after lunch, are welcome to do so.
We also offer a "Youth Focus" emphasis instead of VBS's if your team
would prefer to work with the teens of Mexico.
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.
Free time and fun - You'll also have several free evenings, along with a
free day on Friday, for plenty of fun, your own group activities, and cultural
experiences.
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. Click
here for photos of our beaches.
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.

Please come serve with us! We serve around 50 churches in our
area and they all ask us to send them a short term mission team. We
invite you to prayerfully consider coming to Mexico as you're greatly
needed in our ministry!
Here's how we can help you!
We're currently in our 13th 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 in Mexico.
The 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, secure, fenced in
facility. Also, we are located in a rural, agricultural area with no threats of any
kind. We're located (more about our location) about four hours South of San
Diego, in the 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 175 people and has 3
separate lodging amenities, each with their own accommodations.
The cost is very affordable (see below for addition pricing info)
We offer affordable, safe short term mission trip opportunities to Mexico. We do
everything possible to keep fees low so all can experience a mission trip and at the
same time, offer high quality service. Mission trip fees cover the following: lodging,
construction materials for your work projects, most general tools for work projects,
all ministry & media equipment for your ministries, puppets and puppet stage,
boom boxes, videos, video equipment, puppet scripts & cd's in Spanish,
coordination of all your ministries and work projects, Spanish translation help, and
our on site presence and assistance at all times.

We provide a large "Online Coordinator's Manual" to help you organize your
mission trip, provide group 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
17 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 your ministries.
You'll arrive with the peace of mind knowing that everything has been coordinated
ahead of time for your missionary trip in Mexico.
We serve with you and assist you during your stay in Mexico.
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, dental, or a Family
mission trip. Also, your ministry 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 on
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. Click here for photos of the beaches.
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-
3 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.
For this reason, our Orientation and Debriefing Meetings focus on bringing about
true and lasting 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 as
well.
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,
dental 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. We serve around 50
churches in our area and they all ask us for teams to help them out. We need you
and would ask you to prayerfully consider coming. A mission trip to Mexico can
change both the lives of those in your group and those in Mexico as well. More

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
servant's 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, Mexico, 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!"
