Texas Border / October 6 - 11, 2024

October 06, 2024 to October 11, 2024

The purpose of this trip is to serve and to listen. Our hope is for this team to hear about life on the border from several different perspectives. Some may be familiar, some may be unique, and some may even be challenging. The trip would include both experiential learning and guided discussions surrounding visits to relevant local historic sites, the border wall, and places of service. The team will serve at the Catholic Charities Refuge and the Welcome Center in Rio Grande Valley, TX, providing support for people who have entered the U.S. and are awaiting transportation to their sponsored locations or who are still being processed and in need of basic care like a cold meal and hygiene kits.

Step into the Navajo Nation in Arizona, where local Diné (Navajo) Pastors and their church community are striving to honor God and sacrificially serve their communities with hearts of love and generosity.

On a Native American mission trip to the Navajo Nation, you'll serve families in remote desert communities through home repair projects, or church outreach programs. As your team takes in the breathtaking desert landscape, you’ll work hard but also be encouraged to slow down, sit around a campfire, and build meaningful relationships across cultural boundaries.
