 Mexico Mission 2008 offers a unique environment for spiritual growth and a time to reflect on our role in this world. Each participant will witness what it is like to live in a third world country and have the opportunity to be a servant to people who can only repay such efforts with their gratitude.
Even if you are not able to travel to Tijuana and participate directly in Mexico Mission 2008, there are still ways to support the mission.
You, too, can build houses. We are offering you the opportunity to actually be personally responsible for part of a house or camp or crew items.

Last year a documentary film began being produced featuring the Mexico mission trip. One of the problems faced by the residents of Tijuana that Mexico Mission 2008 serves is the environmental damage caused by large assembly plants, known as maquiladoras. Planned as a multi-year production and produced by EnviroJustice, a non-profit organization based in Martinez, California that promotes environmental justice from a progressive, faith-based perspective, the film is a part of Tijuana Justice, a segment of the EnviroJustice campaign for safe, sustainable and just communities. Due to unforseen circumstances, the film crew will not be able to be in Tijuana this year, but will be returning next year, and will be receiving photographs of this year's trip for inclusion in the documentary film.
To produce such a documentary film is a ministry in and of itself that tells the story to a wider audience and gives greater exposure to the reasons why we do the Mexico mission trip, why we as Christians give of ourselves to help others. There won’t be any mega profits made from the film. No one is going to become a millionaire. Another way you can support Mexico Mission 2008 is purchasing the DVD in advance to help cover production costs. The DVD will include either the television or theater version of the film, a separate video of the mission trip in which everyone who goes will be featured, and other extras. The final version will sell for at least $24.95. As a special incentive and for a limited time only, you can purchase the DVD at the special price of $20. |
