The next Mexico Mission Trip is April 10–17, 2010

Put your faith into action — come and be part of the LAUMC 2010 Mexico Trip, April 10–17, 2010! This trip is open to all ages — no prior experience is necessary. We will build simple two-room houses for working people in the outskirts of Tijuana. We will camp during the week and stay in a hotel in Old Town San Diego on the way down and back. This trip will change your life as you get to know and fall in love with the people of Mexico who live and work in conditions very different from ours.

Included here are several informational handouts you can download about Mexico Mission Trips and what to expect. Below that is a schedule of meetings and due dates.
