| This is really the "crown jewel" of our youth program...every year we load up a team of high schoolers and adult staff and head off to the Mexicali Valley of Mexico for a remarkable week of ministry in the little town of Ejido Hidalgo. Sponsored by Azusa Pacific University, Mexico Outreach involves over 5,000 young people annually. APU sets up and runs three different base camps (big tent cities really) with hundreds of youth from different churches staying in each one. They provide our meals, a camp speaker, and great music. The time spent in the base camp is more than just "where we stay"...it's a great experience with other groups, lots of opportunity to focus on God and our ministry, and a ton of fun. Then...it's off to our ministry site every morning. We are greeted by dozens of eager children who are ready for a dazzling day of vacation Bible school type activities, projects, games, and more fun than one can even imagine. They start looking forward to our next visit as we leave at the end of our week; it really is the highlight of their entire year. And the opportunities that we get to serve, to teach, to share, and to just love these kids simply cannot be described. Mexico Outreach is an experience that truly changes lives. Whatever you thought you might want to do with your spring break could probably wait until summer or next year; don't miss this!! Mexico Outreach links...
