Each year Uturn Jr. High sends a team of JH students and adults down to Rosarito, Mexico to partner with Hope Chapel Rosarito. During our time down there we will be performing a pantomime drama, putting on a puppet show and interactive story, we'll be participating in maintenance projects around the church, and ultimately sharing our faith in Jesus with the community. Mother Teresa once said, "its not how much you do, but how much love you put in the doing." This quote truly captures our heart for this trip. Our goal is so much more than completely tasks, our purpose for this trip is to make the unconditional love of God visible. This team has been diligently preparing, praying, and saving money since January and they are ready to hit the ground running when we arrive Friday afternoon. Thank you to everyone who has helped support this trip financially and prayfully. Throughout the trip you can check back on this site and read updates and see pictures of everything we're doing.

In order to be better mentally and spiritually prepared for our time in Mexico, our team has committed to turning off the many distractions around them and spending more time with Jesus. We recognize that there are so many different ways we can become distracted from pursuing Jesus so we're taking some time to intentionally seek Him.
