Mexico – November 2021. This group of High School, College and Adult individuals travel to Mexico each year during Thanksgiving week. Mexico Caravan Ministries is a missions mobilization ministry hosting short term, home-building mission trips in Tijuana. Most of what they do involves construction – may include building 12′ x 12′ shelters for those who don’t have adequate housing, putting on roofs, laying cement, etc. Large group teaching times are planned with a strong focus on missions – a whole new understanding of the Great Commission, the 10/40 window and what their responsibility is in fulfilling it.
