Join Presbyterians from across Iowa on a mission delegation to the U.S.-Mexico border. The delegation will be hosted by Frontera de Cristo, one of four Presbyterian Borderlands Ministries.
We will worship with, learn from, and be in mutual mission with brothers and sisters in Lirio de los Valles Presbyterian Church in Agua Prieta, and experience life and ministry along the US-Mexico border. We will also visit several churches and ministries that provide services to migrants and deportees. Some of the activities will include experiencing the Sonoran Desert and migrant trails, tour of U.S. Immigration/Customs Facility, and conversation with U.S. Immigration/Customs Agents or Border Patrol.
The activities of the delegation involve a moderate level of physical activity. Food will be mostly Mexican cuisine. Lodging will be in modest dormitory rooms at Lirio de los Valles Presbyterian Church in Agua Prieta, Mexico.
The delegation is limited to 14 participants. The application deadline is July 31, 2025.
