Welcome Note
!
Thank You for expressing interest in being
a part of our Mexico team! We believe God can use
you in incredible ways on this team. Let us just take
a few minutes to give you some background on the
incredible ministries we have the opportunity to
partner alongside.
!
New Life Church has expanded
internationally, holding services in La Mision,
Mexico through partnering with Open Arms
Daycare. La Iglesia Nueva Vida de La Mision ( New
Life Church, La Mision) has grown over the past
few years and it is our privilege to continue to serve
our church, even in another country. Before heading
home, students will have the opportunity to serve
within New Life La Mision, and experience church
in a unique way.

Open Arms Childcare & Door of Faith
Orphanage are located just 1 hour south of the San
Diego border, in a small town called La Mision,
between Rosarito and Ensenada. God has placed it
in the hearts of Heidi and Daniel Elizarraraz to
provide a no-cost daycare for the less fortunate
children in Mexico because the need for childcare in
poverty stricken areas is abundant. Mexico is a
third world country with a desperate need for a
daycare system. !
In Mexico there is no childcare solution
for single parent families or married couples in the
workforce. They can barely put food on the table,

let alone pay for childcare. Parents are handing
their children to orphanages just to enable them to
put food on the table. Other parents lock their
children in the home alone during the work day.
!
Together Open Arms and Door of Faith
are working to show children Christ's love through
salvation and to show the parents how much God
values family. The orphanage provides beautiful
housing, education, care, and love to over 100
children. They are a family. Door of Faith also works
to expand its program by distributing supplies and
offering training to other orphanages both in Mexico
and across the globe.
!
Through the work of individuals and
teams, families in Mexico experience the free gift of
love, through you, from God. Whether skilled or
not, your abilities can be used. From cleaning,
painting, weeding, holding babies, mixing cement,
to pounding nails, or digging ditches there is
something for everyone. There is a place for you on
this trip.
