2017 Mexico Transit 1
Team members will work with members of Shalom Church in Merida, Mexico. The trip's focus will be on strategic service projects and meeting the needs of the church and community. Projects may include light construction, painting, and teaching the local children about Christ through Vacation Bible Schools. You will have the opportunity to interact with local leaders, community members, and children while building relationships.
We are looking for rising eighth-grade students who are involved in Transit, each accompanied by one of their parents (24 people maximum).
