Why are we doing what we are doing?

Personal and Spiritual growth for yourself and the children we serve. Practically, we are taking individuals out of their comfort zones and exposing them to a reality that most of the world shares. Without opportunities to change the focus of our personal lives, we get caught up in the immediate needs/desires of our everyday world. Every person needs the perspective of Global Vision, including the children in Mexico.

We are one family under God, with believers in Mexico and through out the world. By involving ourselves in the greater community of faith around the world, we have an opportunity to open our lives to be used by God. Through caring and giving, we experience closeness to our faith and the Church community that is rare in our daily lives. Ideally, every participant may have an opportunity for personal growth and catch a brief glimpse of what the Church should be at its best. The children get to experience the greater impact of others sharing and living their faith.

One week helping others is a very short time. However, it is often the doorway to a lifetime of Christian service. The perspective and experience gained on a Genesis program inspires acts of service and outreach when the participants return home. The physical, emotional and spiritual challenges you face in the Genesis experience will give you greater strength, character and faith.
