This summer we’re planning on taking a team down to Mexico from June 16th-20th to serve Radius International in helping prepare their campus to welcome a new batch of missionary training students that will learn more about God’s glory, His heart for the nations, and what it will take for the great commission to be accomplished.
For most of the year, Radius International is an active missionary training school that equips students with the missiology, personal development, and language skills to take the gospel to unreached people groups through cross-cultural church planting. The last 2 years, DCC has been partnering with Radius in helping further equip our Global missionary partners to be church-planting missionaries. Furthermore, a couple of DCC members are currently completing their training at Radius and will be on-site to help lead this trip.
During this ‘Summer of Service’ event, you will spend your days working on much-needed projects and repairs at Radius International’s two missionary training campuses that will help prepare them to welcome the next group of 50+ students in July. The evenings will be spent learning about God’s heart for the nations and what it will take for the great commission to be accomplished.
This trip is encouraged for anyone currently pursuing or planning to pursue missions work. However, any DCC members with an interest in supporting the equipping of missionaries while growing in their knowledge of God’s heart for the nations and what it will take to complete the great commission are strongly encouraged to join! A valid passport is required.
We believe that it’s important that all of us are operating under the same set of assumptions and on the same page when it comes to the Gospel, the local church, and missions. As such, this trip is limited and reserved for covenanted members of DCC.
The trip is planned for June 16-20, including travel time to Mexico and back.
The estimated cost for round-trip airfare and all food, lodging, and local travel while in Mexico is ~$400 (~$180-250 for flight, $100 for Summer of Service fee, $70/number of attendees for Uber to/from border, $25 for 2 airport meals). All meals in Mexico will be provided at Radius. You may also want to bring a small amount of money $25-50 for optional purchases of food, drink, or souvenirs during free time in the community.
Generally speaking, you are safe at the Radius Campus in Northern Mexico. That being said there are a few things that the staff will brief you on to help ensure that your time there goes without incident.
Do you have a love for the Gospel? Do you want to learn more about global missions? Do you want to use your gifts and talents to serve others? Ask Jesus, and those that God has put around you, to be praying for you and whether this is something God is inviting you to join in
