Activities and Opportunities
How Will You Serve? - Your mission team will minister at a specially chosen church (alongside Mexicans) while serving 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!
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! Don't worry if you don't have skilled labor, we an take care of this area for you. Just come with willing
hands to serve and God will use you greatly. Also, about 1/3 of your group fees goes to purchase materials for your work projects so you don't have to worry about raising
extra funds! For more click here
Visitation & Prayer Ministry - 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 more click here
Evangelism - You will start the week off Sunday afternoon with an Evangelism Outreach in the community where the church you'll be serving at is located. The Mexicans from
the church will go with you to share in this time. You'll hand out tracts to share the gospel, and invitations to invite the community to the activities you'll be doing that week. For
more click here
Children's Ministry - Vacation Bible School Outreaches are a tremendous way to reach children for Christ. VBS's are usually held at the church where you serve during the
week. They normally take place in the afternoon as children go to school in the morning. VBS's start with a play time outside in order to draw as many children as possible.
Following the
playtime we move inside and do: songs, puppets, Bible story, crafts, and snacks. We provide the VBS Curriculum, Puppets, Media Equip. and most everything else you'll
need for the VBS. Your team will just need to bring some crafts, snacks, and some play equipment. For more click here
Community Outreaches - Sunday Evening (Wednesday optional) you'll participate in a General Community Outreach at the church where you're serving at. We do this via a
large screen and video projector we have. We show evangelistic videos to reach the community for Christ. Your group will sing a song or two, do a puppet show, share a
couple
testimonies, and do a condensed VBS with the children. For more click here
Close-by Beaches - 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! For more click

Location
We're located about 4-5 hours south of San Diego, CA, on the Baja Peninsula, Mexico, in the San Quintin Valley. It's a poverty stricken area of Mexico with agricultural workers
as its main inhabitants. It's a rural, farming area with about 40 communities. Click here for more
Transportation
Destination Airport - San Diego, CA
Your team's transportation to and from San Quintin Valley is not covered. You will need your vehicles throughout the entire week to transport your team to various locations
for work and ministry.
If you plan to fly into San Diego you will need to rent vans from one of the local rental companies. If you are renting vehicles there are three very important details that you
should keep in mind:
1.) It is important to secure your ground transportation as early as possible. Rental companies book up quickly during the summer months. Click here for Van Rental
Companies
2.) You will need to make sure your rental company allows their vehicles to cross into Mexico.
3.) Whether renting or driving your own vehicles, we strongly recommend that you carry Mexican auto insurance. You can check with your own automobile insurance company
about purchasing Mexican auto insurance coverage. You can also purchase Mexican auto insurance through your rental company or at the border.
Your team should arrive at the Ministry Base on Saturday by 5:00pm if possible. Take into account that we are located about 4-5 hours south of San Diego in the Valley of
San Quintin. We provide clear, detailed driving instructions for arriving at our Mission Base.
On your return to the United States, you will need to allow extra time for crossing the border. If you are flying out we recommend returning to the U.S. on Friday and flying home
on Saturday morning.
Food
In order to make your trip as affordable as possible we allow groups to take care of some of their own meals (we provide a large furnishing kitchen with all the cooking
utensils you'll need for this).
For other meals, we provide an excellent option of eating your Sunday Evening meal and weekday lunch meals at your specially chosen church. There is an addition cost of
$17.50 for these 5 meals ($3.50 per person per meal). This cost also covers enough food so the Mexicans serving alongside of your team can eat with you as well. You can
also eat out at some local taco stands as well. Food is not covered in your cost. Fore more click here
Lodging
Sleeping - Each dorm sleeps 6 (a few sleep 8) and is furnish with Bunk beds with mattresses. You will need to bring your own bedding and pillow. It is generally warm at
night; however, it is cool on occasion. A travel sheet and a light-weight sleeping bag or blanket are ideal. Accommodations will be dormitory style. We allow Team Leaders to
assign dorms as per their judgment.
Showers - We have showers with hot water. Showers have individual stalls and after a hard day of work, very refreshing!
Toilets - We have indoor toilet facilities at the Mission Base where your team will be staying. They contain modern flushing toilets and sinks for washing hands. Many of the
worksite locations may not have indoor bathrooms or running water available. Teams should be prepared in these instances to use an outhouse and bring hand sanitizer for
cleaning their hands.
Water - The Mission Base where you will be staying has running water in the bathrooms and Kitchen area. This water is not purified for drinking but is safe for showering
and washing hands. We provide 5 gallon jugs for obtaining purified drinking water. Purified water can be purchased at any local store for about $1.00 for 5 gallons. The
Valley of San Quintin is sunny year around and it's important for team members to keep hydrated. Every team member should have a personal water bottle with them at all
times for drinking water and should use them when brushing their teeth etc
Electricity - There is electricity available in all kitchens, dorms, bathrooms, shower areas, meeting areas and outside as well. Electricity is exactly the same as in the United
States.
Security - The Mission Base where your team will be staying is fenced and gated. There is room for parking your vans or cars inside the gated area. There is always
someone on the Mission Base to watch and care for everything. The gate is locked at night. While theft has not been a problem in our area, we do encourage team
members to not leave their valuables out in the open at work sites and etc.
Many have heard about the civil unrest and gang related violence in the border towns of Mexico. One of the unique positives of our area is that it's not a border town. We are
located in a rural, farming area with no threats of any kind.
Wireless Internet - For Team Leaders, we provide wireless Internet. We encourage Team Leaders to ask their students to refrain from using it.

Weather
The weather in our part of Mexico is very pleasant year around. It's never too hot or too cold. Winter average highs are in the 70's and lows in the 50's. Summer average
highs are in the 80's, and lows in the 60's.
Cost
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.

ministries. We will need you to bring some crafts and snacks for your VBS's, and some Bibles and Tracts for your evangelism and outreach ministries.
