SERVE TRIP

2025

NWH is heading down to Rancho Genesis to love orphans, help with building projects, and serve wherever needed this Summer, 2025! Our youth team and NWH families/individuals are now joining forces to make an impact in the lives of little niños and niñas.

about rancho genesis

Rancho Genesis has been in operation for over 25 years and Pastor Ron, our Associate Pastor, has had a longtime connection and relationship with this ministry. Genesis Diez Ministries focus on providing fun and safe refuge for rescued orphans through camp at Rancho Genesis and devoting love and healing to abandoned special needs children through their Beautiful Gate Orphanage.

"Genesis takes you beyond a simple vacation or church camp experience and opens your heart to follow Jesus in loving, caring and helping Heal and bring Hope to an “orphan” Genesis provides you with More than memories, You change lives." 

Rancho Genesis doesn't just put on camps for orphans, they go beyond that and get their volunteers deeply involved in the lives of each "camper". During this serve trip, each "family" will be assigned a number of orphans to "join their family" during camp time. This is an incredible opportunity to love these individual orphans, many of whom come from really heartbreaking circumstances.

Here is a breakdown of what a typical serve day will look like:

Mornings: Mornings will consist of building projects! What projects we work on may depend on what skills we have within our Mexico serve team and what projects would benefit Rancho Genesis.

Afternoons: It's camp time! Our campers will be bused in for an afternoon of fun and relationship-building! We will host a VBS of sorts and have an opportunity to engage and love on these orphans!

Evenings: Each night, our team will have some time of worship, reflection, a devotional, and an opportunity to hang out and decompress before another day of serving! We also will take this time to write cards for our kiddos to give them the next day.

FAQs

  • Every cross-cultural trip has a measure of risk but Rancho Genesis has a long history of safety for the ministry partners going down. It is located in a safe part of Mexico and it has the support of the local community.

  • As part of our four-part training, we will be sharing how to write support letters to raise money to go on the trip but also to ask people to pray for you.

  • Love has no language and whether or not you can speak Spanish, these kids FEEL the love that we have for them when we spend time with them, nurture them, and love them.

  • You can give online to the Mexico Serve Trip 2025!

  • If a child is joining a family, we ask that they be 10 years of age.

    If a child is going alone, they must be in 9th grade+ and will be paired with another NWH family during the trip.

  • Yes! The goal is that you can form a loving bond with this child during the serve trip and that happens best when continuity occurs. And if we go a second year, you would be paired with the same child(ren) a second year.
