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 group
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 puppets and puppet material for you to use. To learn more about Vacation Bible School
go to: Vacation Bible School
Evangelism/Visitation 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. Also, in the
mornings (Mon.-Thurs.) part of your group (about five) 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
Evangelism/Visitation Outreaches
Church Outreaches
Several nights during the week you will do some church ministry at the church you'll be serving at for the week
while in Mexico. There will be two church ministry outreaches during the week (Sunday and Tuesday or

The other outreach night (Tues. or Wed.) the children can be taken out as well if your group would like. You'll
