Del Rio, TX / November 5 - 10, 2023

This team will travel to Del Rio, Texas to come alongside the work of local churches and organizations who are loving their migrant and refugee neighbors. In addition to serving activities, this trip is also designed to foster a deeper awareness and understanding of the immigration crisis that is happening at our southern border. We believe that proximity builds empathy, and our hope is to learn and grow as we connect with diverse lived experiences and have compassionate and curious conversations with people outside of our echo chambers. Our goal is to create an immersive experience that will enable us to have proximity with several organizations, including the local Border Patrol and the Val Verde Humanitarian Border Coalition, that are collaborating to honor the dignity of migrant families and to see, know and love their neighbors. The cost of the trip is $1300 with a $300 deposit due at application. All deposits are non-refundable and non-transferable. The pre-trip planning process consists of 3 team meetings prior to the team leaving and 2 team meetings after the team returns home.
