These families are continuously endeavoring to break the cycle of poverty in which they find themselves in.

    Mission Adventures is an international outreach organization that benefits those living in less fortunate communities, particularly in the outskirts of Cd. Juarez, Mexico. These families are continuously endeavoring to break the cycle of poverty in which they find themselves in. Their circumstances give them little hope for improvement, and that hopelessness is most likely passed along to the next generation. The vision is to focus on one or two communities at a time, building one or two small houses per week. We also worked directly with their local community, business, and religious leaders to help strategize future community development efforts. This great cause allowed us to work in communities in a way that models compassion and mercy. We worked with many families, built homes for those in greatest need, and facilitated youth groups from across the U.S to travel to Mexico, and helped families experience hope for their future.
