Explore God’s love for people and heart for justice
Our service learning trips are immersive, educational and will intentionally place you into the lives of immigrant leaders serving families on the U.S. & Mexico border. There will be learning opportunities to help you understand the complexity of immigration on the border and service opportunities to help support local immigrant ministries. From volunteering at a local immigrant shelter to serving alongside immigrant pastors and their congregations, these opportunities will be eye-opening and will give you a first-hand look at ministry alongside immigrants communities.
What does it look like to travel along the border?
We'll travel along the South Texas border and make certain stops along the way and highlight important places, facts, historical landmarks etc.
This part of your trip will primarily give your group a visual understanding of our southern border, the hardships of the terrain and put in context the region that we often only hear about.
OUR SERVICE LEARNING MODEL
LISTEN & LEARN
Collaborate and be challenged by local immigrant leaders. You will learn the importance of scripture in our ministry approach and the cultural milieu in which border communities interact on a day to day basis.
SERVE
Serve the local immigrant church and organizations in long-term efforts that are helping empower immigrant families on the South Texas border.
CONTEXTUALIZE
We help you step into another culture. We help you break cross-cultural barriers, hear important stories and challenge you to reflect on how God wants you to use this experience.
AFTER YOUR TRIP
The great commission isn’t just about “going.” It’s about how we live once we return home. It’s about our everyday actions and decisions to showcase our faith. We’ll have a conversation about modeling this once you get home.
