Many of the people from St. Philip's have been involved in missions to Mexico over the last five years. Texas' hispanic roots and the proximity of Juarez makes the ministry across the border an obvious mission focus. Partnering with mission agencies in El Paso, we are able to make a practical impact in the poorest communities of Juarez.

The youth in particular focus on Juarez. In fact St. Philip's first official mission team (July 2003) was a group of youth who spent a week there partnering with Gateway Mission Training Center to build a home for a family that lived in a broken down bus.

We continue to send a team of youth to Juarez every year to organize a Vacation Bible School program and perform various community outreach projects. And every year we continue to see the lives of our youth touched in ways that will forever change them.

Juarez is our youth mission destination, but it's a great introduction to mission work for adults as well. We are always looking for adult chaperones, so don't discount this trip if you are past your teen years!
