Haiti
Our Haiti mission partners with Living Hope Mission Center in Cap Haitian; lead missionaries Meg and Wilbert Merzilus. We send a team (usually adults) for an 8 day mission experience during the winter months. This short-term mission can include relational ministry, manual labor, cultural adventure, medical/dental clinics, VBS type activities with students and service to lead missionaries however possible. We also financially adopted a small, Christian school in the village of Pistere. Through this program we feed approximately 175 children one hot meal a day and cover expenses for teachers, books and uniforms.
Mexico
Our Mexico mission family is the Tijuana Christian Mission. Our youth and adults travel to Tijuana during spring break and the first week of July. These week long trips focus on relational ministry with children and staff at two orphanages, the city dump and a women’s shelter, manual labor, going “deeper” in your relationship with Christ, cultural adventure, and more. We have also hosted our friends from Tijuana here in Sidney when they are in the area.
