GRADE 12 SERVICE TRIP
MEXICO HOUSE BUILDING PROJECT
PCA’s grade 12 class will be going on our service graduation trip to Mexico in May, 2024.
We will be building 6 small houses for underprivileged families in Tijuana in partnership with Mexico Caravan Ministries.
Mobilizing Christ-followers for missions.
We would like to invite you to partner with us by:
Praying for us and the community we will be serving.
Making a donation for the building material we need for each house.
Following our blog (scroll down).
NUMBER OF HOUSES
6
COST PER HOUSE
$2,175
GOAL
$13,050
FUNDS RAISED TO-DATE
-
We are grateful for all donations made, and know God will use every dollar to bless families who will receive these homes. If you are able, we ask that you prayerfully consider donating funds to cover the cost of half a house ($1,072.50) or even an entire house ($2,175.00). Your generous donation would make a meaningful and concrete difference in the lives of a Mexican family in need.
Each of us are covering the cost of our own travel, so our fundraiser is only to raise funds for the material to build each of the 6 houses.
If you are able to purchase the materials for one full house, $2,175.00, you will receive a framed photo of the house built with your donation, plus a note of thanks from the team that built it.
Journey with Us!
Join us on this journey by following our blog and help pray for the specific needs of our team.
We love because he first loved us.

PCA has been sending grade 12 students to Mexico since 2001 to build houses with Mexican Caravan Ministries. To date we have built over 35 homes in Tijuana.
This May, we will be building 6 small houses for underprivileged families in Tijuana in partnership with Mexico Caravan Ministries. -
Mexican Caravan Ministries (MCM) was started in 1984 when a missionary, David Burdette, was approached to help a young mother in need. She had acquired a piece of land, but was going to lose the land if she did not construct a house on it. Dave was able to enlist the help of a youth group from San Diego to help construct a small home for this young mother. And thus the idea for MCM was born.
MCM facilities the construction of small 12x12 shelters for those who don’t have adequate shelter. They host teams that come to help build the shelters and minister to the locals in the area. All materials are purchased on the local market.

As Christians, our service to others is always a response to God’s act of service to us through the death of Jesus on the cross. We love others because He first loved us. Our grad trip seeks to highlight this reality by providing an opportunity for our students to discover the joy of serving those in need.
PCA and Mexico Caravan Ministries (MCM) have had a long partnership together. Since 2001, we have sent teams of students to Mexico to work with and learn from MCM. We have found that the greatest benefit of the ministry of MCM has been for graduating students. This is due to the fact that MCM provides very meaningful and challenging teaching to students about their personal involvement in world missions and evangelism–aspects of Christian discipleship which are central to PCA’s philosophy.
We did not want to neglect the reality that our students are also social beings–not just spiritual. Therefore, along with the service aspect of the grad trip, they will also be provided with opportunities for bonding, reflection and celebration during their time in San Diego.
Because this is a graduation trip, students cover the cost of their own travel and expenses. The only component they fundraise for is the cost of the building material they need to build the 6 small houses.
