3rd Annual Trip to Tijuana
It’s our 3rd annual All Peoples Church trip to Tijuana! We’ll be going south of the border 3/26-3/30 for an exciting time of worship, reaching out to the Mexican people, and practically serving those in need. Our trip has a three-fold vision:

TRIP VISION
1. First, the trip has components much like a church conference. Every morning we spend time seeking God in praise and worship, hearing dynamic teaching, and learning more and more about God and His Holy Spirit.

2. Second, we spend time practically serving orphans and those in need. Last year we were able to make some significant headway on some projects at two local Christian orphanages.

3. Third, we spend time each evening performing evangelistic outreaches in the streets. It’s an exciting time of partnering with other churches in Tijuana as we seek to bring the Mexican people the good news about Jesus and the healing power that accompanies His name. These outreaches include drama, dance, and other creative means of communicating God’s love. They are fun for the whole family!
