Reynosa, MX June 1-7
Each year, Christ Church desires to provide an opportunity to its members to go outside of their comfort zone and be involved in a short-term ministry to others on the mission field. In the summer of 2024, a team from Christ Church will travel to Reynosa, Mexico to work with Isaiah 55, a ministry that works with the deaf and marginalized. We will serve alongside & worship with Tim & Kristy Holliday and the Isaiah 55 team as they lead various community outreach efforts. Ministries involve interacting with families, single mothers, teenage girls, physically challenged students, and young adults in vocational training. Activities include leading and supporting Bible classes, art classes, ESL classes, athletic activities, preparing food, and numerous other DIY projects around the missions facility.
