A family from Bend, Oregon who wanted to experience a family friendly mission trip. After our first trip, we couldn't wait to go back the following year. What we get to do: Build a home in Tijuana, Mexico for a family in need of shelter. Where do we stay? Just minutes over the border in Tecate, Mexico at Rancho La Paloma Ministry Center. http://www.rancholapaloma.org/
How long is the trip? It only takes 3 days to build the home! We enter Mexico on a Sunday evening, start building Monday morning and are headed back into the U.S. on Thursday. Our family chooses to drive, but there is the option to fly to San Diego. How much does it cost? The cost for the 2015 trip is $173 per person. That includes four nights stay in Tecate, MX and meals. Each participant is responsible for travel costs. Do we really bring our kids? Absolutely! Our youngest was 5 years old his first year. One of our favorite parts of the trip is building the house with the homeowner and her kids!
