Teams from Sidney 1st travel to Salyersville, Kentucky partnering with Christian Service Internation (CSI). Teams are involved in relational ministry, manual labor, and cultural adventure in this area that struggles with poverty, unemployment and addictions. Construction skills range from advanced to basic, or just a desire to serve.
Tijuana, Mexico
Our Mexico mission family is the Tijuana Christian Mission (TCM). Our youth, adults, and sometimes families travel to Tijuana during the summer. 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.
