| Go Missions to Mexico Inter-Denominational Ministry |
| Common Questions |
What do fees cover?
One of the unique factors that separates "Go Missions to Mexico" from other mission organizations is that we use about 30% of a
mission team's fees for the building materials used for their work projects. As a result, mission teams who serve with us truly make
a huge difference in helping a needy church with their facilities & ministries. Most other mission organizations charge extra for this
in addition to mission trip fees.
Additional items covered by fees:
We do this all for a very low cost! We don't want anyone to be hindered by costs as we know what God can do in, and through, the lives of
mission team members. We ourselves are missionaries as a result of bringing mission teams to Mexico and seeing how God can use them.
Will we be mixed with other short-term mission teams?
No. Although our ministry base is large and we can accommodate more than one short term mission team at a time, you will be your own mission team and
will have your own kitchen, dining room, meeting room, dorms, showers, bathrooms. You will also serve and minister as your own mission team at your own
church.
What experience do you have in working with short-term mission teams?
We have 17 years of experience in working with short term mission teams. Thirteen of these years have been spent as long term missionaries, and four
years prior to being long term missionaries we lead 2-3 short term mission trips to Mexico per year. We have led youth group mission trips, family mission
trips, adult mission trips, church mission trips, and mixed groups having youth, adults, and families. We understand what special needs and challenges a
Mission Team Coordinator has and take you in mind in our ministry.
What other experience do you have?
We have over 30 years of extensive ministry experience both in the U.S. and in Mexico. During this time we have served as: Youth Directors, Campus Life
Staff, AWANA Directors, Sunday School Teachers, Youth Pastor (with a youth group totaling around 150 students), Associate Pastor (in a church of 600),
Hispanic Outreach Pastor, Building Construction Chairman for the construction of two major church expansion projects, and as missionaries. We also have
experience in the secular field in agriculture and construction. For more go to: About Us/References
Our ministry here in Mexico includes the following, 1) working with short-term mission teams, 2) serving the pastors and churches with our pastor and
church resource library, 3) seminar ministry, 4) speaking ministry, 5) providing counsel & support to the pastors, 6) construction projects, and 7) planting
churches. We would be happy to give you references of who we are and about our ministry.
What will our short term mission team do?
Work Projects: These projects are done in the morning from about 9:00am - 12:00. They are such projects as: painting, cleaning, construction, cement
work, digging, laying blocks and etc. The kind of work projects depends on the skill and abilities of your group. The money for materials for your work
projects comes out of your mission trip fees. To learn more about work projects go to: Work Projects
Vacation Bible School: In the afternoon you will do a Vacation Bible School for children ranging in age from
3-12. This will be held at the church where you'll be serving at for the week while in Mexico. You will start off outside the church with games, then move
inside to do songs, puppets, story (provided by us), and crafts & snacks. We provide the VBS program, puppets and puppet material for you to use. To
learn more about Vacation Bible School go to: Vacation Bible School
We also provide the option of doing a Youth Focus Outreach instead of a Vacation Bible School.
Evangelism Outreaches: Your kick-off to the week will begin Sunday afternoon. You will hook up with some of the Mexican Christians from the church
that you'll serve at for the week, and go out into the community to pass out tracks and invite them to the activities you'll do during the week you're here.
Prayer/visitation Ministry In the mornings (Mon.-Thurs.) part of your group (about 1/3) will join some Mexican Christians to visit homes, pray for them,
encourage, and see how they live. The rest of your group will be involved in work projects. It's a great time to see the culture up close, work alongside
Mexican believers, and spread the gospel. For more go to Visitation/prayer Outreaches
Community Outreaches
Two nights during the week (Sunday & Wednesday nights) you will do Community Outreach at the specially chosen church you'll be serving at for the week
while in Mexico. The first night (Sunday) you will take the children out for their first V.B.S. after your participation in the Community Outreach. The other
outreach night (Wednesday) things will be pretty much the same with the exception that the VBS will be a scaled down version without crafts and snacks.
For the 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. More on Community Outreaches

There are close-by beaches about 1 mile from our ministry base. Also, there are many other close-by beaches within a short driving distance. The
beaches are very clean and little used. There are many shells and sea life that can be seen. Many mission teams go to the beach in the late afternoons
