The Global Journey
 



Ciudad Juarez, Mexico

            From the moment your group steps across the border, they will experience the huge disparity between our culture and theirs, from the vast differences in the standards of living to what’s really important in life. Juarez is the fourth largest city in Mexico with over two and a half million people in this sprawling city, which borders El Paso. Poverty is pervasive here and is even more noticeable with the United States only a glance away.
More than a trip, this adventure will be an ideal place for your group to struggle with becoming culturally sensitive, developing authentic relationships with others different than themselves, and seeing how they can make a significant impact in the life of someone else, even through the smallest acts of service. 



SAMPLE 6 days/ 5 nights:
Contact your Global Journey representative to discuss how an itinerary can be developed that is just right for your group.

Day 1: Unique to this trip, your group will have the choice of being housed in a dorm like setting at the church in Juarez or staying in homes with different church families.  The first day is spent with the local ministry team helping your group with cultural issues and spending time with your Mexican peers. A tour of the area is also included and orientation given for the upcoming days of service.

Day 2-5: The specific details of these ministry days are very dependent on other factors, such as the church’s calendar and the type of ministry the group is looking for.  Typically these days break down into three levels:                                                                                                

Level 1: practical service project. There is always much to be done here, from basic home construction projects, to assisting one of the local or outlying region churches in their efforts to improve the quality of their community.

Level 2: children/youth ministry. Vacation Bible School, Kid’s clubs, community outreaches are typical of this level which allows your teens to use their gifts in ministering to others near their own age. Your group doesn’t need to have a lot of talent, just willing hearts to use what they have in serving others and bringing the good news of Jesus Christ.

Level 3: a cross cultural youth gathering.  This is a much more in depth relationship building time with other teens in Juarez, encouraging each other, serving together in an intense ministry setting that involves evangelism or disciple building. 

Day 6: cultural immersion day.  On this final day your group experiences the local culture of Juarez, a joint recreational outing with their Mexican brothers and sisters in Christ.  Shopping, enjoying local cuisine, make this last day a great way to finish up this trip.
