We are excited to announce the
2027 MEXICO OUTREACH TRIP — May 18-28, 2027
sponsored by our Lynden Door Family of Companies
The team will be returning to the Mount of Olives Children’s Village, part of Missions Network International (MNI), in Uruapan, Baja California, Mexico May 18-28, 2027.
For over 20 years, MNI has partnered with various outreach teams to build houses for families in need, medical clinics, and an orphanage. Our relationship with MNI began in 2007 when we sent our first team of volunteers to help build houses in the orphanage. More recently, we have had the privilege of sending 8 teams since 2007 to help build an auto shop, learning center, and homes for families in need.Â
Beyond the construction projects, our teams have the opportunity to build relationships with children through games, crafts, and shared activities. We also come alongside families living in local migrant camps by providing essential items such as food, clothing, toys, and other needed supplies.

How it works.
Our Lynden Door Family of Companies are committed to help people grow and develop in many different aspects. To open this opportunity to every employee, all travel expenses and wages (your normal hourly rate for an 8-hr day/40-hr week) will be covered.
We will select approximately 20 team members from the applicant pool to build our Outreach Team, hoping for employees from each location.
Your “Outreach Trip” begins shortly after the team is announced, many months before our departure date!
Various fundraisers will help us get to know our team members and raise funds for needed project materials. 100% of the funds raised will be sent directly to MNI. We are honored to partner with their ministry and provide meaningful, tangible support.
Don't miss this amazing opportunity to serve!

"We came to pour ourselves into serving the community of Uruapan, and we did. But the staff at Mount of Olives and people we met, ministered
to us as much or more. And as promised, it now holds a piece of our hearts."
Beth Groce
"Meeting all the different people from different branches and listening to their stories about their lives was awesome."
Jeff Benoit
"While I was there I was blessed to be baptized by Pastor Bill and all my new family was there to take place in something special to me. "
Mike Kelton
"I returned with a heart full of joy yet deeply saddened by the extent of the need; despite all that is being done, there is still so much more required."

"The outreach trip to Mexico was amazing. I am endlessly thankful for the opportunity. Helping to build the house for Alvino and his family was one of the most educational and fulfilling things I have ever done."
Rob Duel

"Where else can you get to go travel to a foreign country, use muscles that I did not know existed, try new things, bless others and be part of an amazing experience?"
Kelly Skeels
"If you’re looking for something meaningful, something that will truly impact your life, this is it. Don’t miss the chance to be part of it next year. You’ll laugh, you’ll grow, you’ll be blessed in ways you never expected, and you’ll come back with a heart full of memories and a fresh new outlook on life."
Stacy Sires
"Being there to bring a smile to the people who struggle daily to sometimes just survive the day. Reaching out and giving some of those basic things was such a bittersweet feeling, because we wanted to do so much more. There is still such a great need for so many in the community."
Lori Brown
"Being able to help build a home for a family in need and seeing the look of pure love and thankfulness on their faces as they stood outside of their new home is something I will never forget.

"If you’re looking to invest into a remarkable vision that transforms many lives while simultaneously changing your own, consider applying for the 2027 mission trip."

"Spending time with the children was wonderful, to see their little faces light up when we presented activities and our time to them was worth everything, even though there was a language barrier they were happy to join in the activities and interact with everyone."
