Mission Trip Options
This year we have three options for mission trip!
Gallup, New Mexico - May 29 - June 10 - 8th Grade and above
This trip is designed for students who are ready for the challenge of leaving their personal desires behind as they follow Jesus and help meet the needs of others. This southwestern experience will find us making our home base at the 117-year-old campus of Rehoboth Christian school, where we will work with and serve the people in the community, making a difference in the lives of a variety of people.
As a part of the Destination Rehoboth experience, we will volunteer at various locations in meaningful service projects both on and off of Rehoboth’s campus. Off-campus opportunities might include helping at the local food shelter, assisting Rehoboth families in need with home repair projects, or serving at churches on the reservation. Campus needs might include painting and minor repairs, or landscaping.
Requirements for this team are a flexible attitude and a willingness to do hands-on labor. For more information about RCS and their current projects, check out their website and their Facebook page.
- Estimated Support Goal of $850-$950
Puerto Escondido, Mexico - *June 2 - 9 - Highschool only
This trip is designed for students who have a desire to be used by Jesus to draw others into a relationship with Him and they will be trained to go with the Gospel as His ambassadors. We will be working with the ministry of Roca Blanca Mission Base in Puerto Escondido, Mexico. There are a variety of ways to serve this ministry, we might lead a VBS, work in their orphanage, assist with village ministry, work on building projects, or possibly help deliver food or clothing.
Requirements for this team are a willingness and desire to share the gospel of Jesus verbally, relationally, and through physical work. Here is more information about Roca Blanca.
- Estimated Support Goal of $1900-$2100
You must have a passport for this trip. This will be an approximate $135 (including photo fee) additional personal expense. Allow for 6-8 weeks or pay an additional $60 for 2-3 week turn around.
* Dates may vary slightly due to flight schedules
Mexico Travel Info
The Roca Blanca Mission Base is located in the safest and most secure area of Mexico, according to the US State Department, well and easily patrolled, virtually free from the drug and other violence issues that are plaguing the border towns and Mexico’s large cities. For more detailed official US State Department information click here. After a series of general warnings for Mexico they have a state by state listing. For reference, we’re located in the State of Oaxaca where there are no travel warnings in effect.
With the same common sense precautions that you would take traveling anywhere, our coastal area is still the safe place to visit that it has been for many decades, safer than visiting many US cities.
It’s easy to forget just how big Mexico is, and how far our location is from the warning areas! If you visit us, in most cases your flight will arrive directly to Huatulco (HUX), or by means of the Mexico City airport to Puerto Escondido (PXM), these being our nearest international airports. There we meet you at the airport and drive you here. You’re not within a thousand miles of a border town or hundreds of miles from a city with a warning. We also begin your stay here with an orientation, which includes safety tips to avoid any danger that might present itself. We live here and we raise our children here. You can trust our record of many years of safety for visitors and students.
1-2 Day Local Trip - TBD
Formerly known as the SPLASH trip, this trip will be within 2 hours of the TFC office in Phillipsburg, KS and will be a 2 day trip where you can get a taste for a longer mission trip. If you don’t feel ready to go on a longer trip, or have scheduling conflicts with the other trips, this is the trip for you! You will still have the opportunity to serve and grow in your faith in Jesus. Click the button below to sign up for this trip!
