So what does a typical day look like in Tijuana? We usually stay in dormitories with another church or two. The morning consists of devotion time and breakfast, then we head up to the upper room for worship and a gospel message from Eddie Passmore (director of MCM). Eddie likes to challenge the teams to consider doing something more than coming to Tijuana. Several maps and resources of where unreached people groups are located paint the walls of Caravan.
After church, we load the truck with supplies and head out to the work site. Our team worked alongside two interns from Caravan on building a 12′ x12′ shelter house for a family in need. It typically takes us about 5-6 hours to get the job done. The awesome part is at lunchtime, we get to partake in a meal provided by the family we are building for. Working together on a project like this really gives us a chance to bond together as a team and be the hands and feet of Christ to the family.
When we get back, we load the truck for the next day and then relax in the dormitory. Some of the nighttime activities include fellowship with each other by playing games. We’ll then go out and have dinner with Eddie and some of the interns before getting some rest for our next work day.
