PHILOSOPHY OF MINISTRY
We have discovered that short term mission teams can play a vital role
in fulfilling the Great Commission when linked up with Long Term Missionaries.   Over our 17 years of mission experience with short
term mission teams, we have put together a multifaceted ministry schedule that produces genuine results.  As a result, we are
constantly asked by churches in Mexico if we can send them a mission team.  We have developed this philosophy of ministry as a
result of seeking advice from national pastors, from reading extensively about misiology, from our experience as missionaries, and
from working with short-term mission teams.  Over the years the pastors and churches in Mexico have grown to trust, respect and
seek out our ministry.  Our prayer is that God might touch your heart and that you'd come serve with us.  We really need you!

Our philosophy of ministry focuses on linking up short-term mission teams with specially chosen churches in Mexico. Through these
churches, short term mission teams do their ministries & outreaches. By strengthening and working through the local church, the fruit
of a short term mission team remains long after they're gone.  This is our philosophy of ministry that ensures maximum fruit and
impact.  Our Long Term Missionaries will select the church you'll serve at and assist you during your stay in Mexico.

Testimonies from previous Short Term Mission Team Leaders

"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, 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, 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 manor. "

Dr. Andrew Floren, Group Leader
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 Quintin Valley.  I can't wait until next year!"

Dr. Aaron Frey, Group Leader
Grace Gathering Church, 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

"My wife and I have been on several short term mission trips with youth groups and family groups.  Last year we had the
privilege of leading a family group to the mission base of Missions to Mexico. We appreciated the well organized
material that Missions to Mexico has made available on their website.  It helped us organize our team and to prepare
each member of our group to feel confident and to know that God was going to use them.  What a blessing to serve with
a local church!  The relationships that we built with our brothers and sisters in Mexico are eternal.  What a privilege it
was helping to build their children's ministry through VBS, evangelizing in their neighborhoods, and improving the
facilities at their church.  Every member of our group has a testimony of how God changed their life during that week.  
Since returning we have observed each person's commitment to serve God in church ministry, community outreach
and missions.   We would recommend Missions To Mexico to any group seeking a short term mission trip.  Mike and
Angela will do everything possible to ensure that your group will have a successful trip.

"Thank you again for a wonderful experience and the time and effort that your family is putting in down in Mexico. Our
team had a wonderful time and they cannot stop talking about it. Thank you so much for all your help. Our group had a
great time and because of how well everything was planned, it made for a stress free experience. We were also given
many opportunities to share Christ and an opportunity to reach those in San Quintin for Christ. This was something that
we desired, but because of how other mission organizations that we have gone with in the past have ran things, we didn't
know if it would actually happen. You provided a safe and ministry filled environment and we are grateful to you for that.
As a church, we usually run mission trips to Mexico every other year, but my team has already told me that they are
intent on coming back to San Quintin next year. I hope that you will have us. Thanks again for all your hard work and
may the love that you have for the people down there continue to increase as the years go by. God Bless."

Pastor Steve Reed, Pastor
Faith Baptist Church, Salem, Oregon

"Our church, Calvary Chapel Canyon Hills, has been going on short term mission trips to Mexico for about 7 years.  
The first 5 years we were building houses in Ensenada, Mexico and doing VBS with the children of the neighborhood.  
This was a great learning experience and God taught us many wonderful things about the people of Mexico and about
ourselves. But it felt more like community service than a mission trip. Our group felt like there was more, maybe a
chance to go deeper into Mexico and deeper with our walk. So we started to pray as a group and were led to Missions to
Mexico. What a blessing! First, Mike and Angela make you feel like family and just not paying guest.  Secondly, their
ministry style is Bible based; 1 Thess. 3.  To have the opportunity to come alongside a Pastor and bless him in any way
needed. From, working alongside the people from his church, to reaching out to the community by street witnessing and
watching people come to Christ, playing with the children and V.B.S, or etc. What a blessing!  If you are going for the
first time or wanting to go deeper, I highly recommend Missions to Mexico.  Oh, did I forget to mention that a mile from
camp are the beautiful sandy beaches of the Pacific Ocean."

Steve Wagoner, Group Coordinator
Calvary Chapel Canyon Hills, Lake Elsinore, California

"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 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 lives that we can change for 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!"

Sutherlin Family Church, Sutherlin, Oregon
