WEEKEND WARRIOR MISSION TEAMS

Are you interested in going to San Vicente with a Construction Team with Calvary Chapel San Bernardino??

Just as the Son of man did not come to serve . . Jesus
Matthew 20:28


HISTORY

Calvary Chapel San Bernardino began going to Mexico on short term mission trips in the summer of 1989. Since that time, we have one full-time missionary, Jeanie Sue Phegley, from our fellowship in Mexico and we continue to travel for weekend work trips about four times a year.

AREA

The mission base, Casa del Pastor is located in San Vicente, 60 miles south of Ensenada, in Baja California. San Vicente is located in a small valley about 30 miles inland from the coast. The temperature and climate are very similar to San Bernardino. If it is raining here, it will probably be raining in San Vicente; if it is 100F here, chances are it will be equally warm in San Vicente.

WORK PERFORMED

At Casa del Pastor, battered and abused women and children are ministered to with food, clothing, shelter, first-aid, and the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

We also travel outside the mission base to local camps where we are able to share the Gospel, provide clothing, and assist with minor medical attention.

during Christmas, we put together 100's of "She Box" gifts and distribute them to the needy children on the base and in the camps. Filled with toys, personal hygiene items and Gospel tracts; these "Boxes" minister love and care to the kids.

Much of the work performed on weekend mission trips involves physical labor. Many different building projects have been completed for our missionary Jeanie Sue which have included: digging septic tanks, painting, roofing, framing, slab work, carpentry and plumbing.

Future tasks include: Additional construction and maintenance on Jeanie's trailer and the women's group home and other projects.
