Below are details from our previous trips to give you a better idea what to expect.
Mission Trips flying to Yucatán, Mexico
Yucatán Peninsula is in the southeast part of Mexico. We will be flying back for our 4th year and staying at a hotel in Cancún and then working along with a Christian ministry. Just about 30 minutes past where most of the tourist locations are, there’s many people in Cuna Maya that are overlooked and in great need. We want to continue to help and minister the love of Jesus to them.
Our friend from Pennsylvania we’ve known for years has a family with two boys that have lived there at this Christian ministry and have been hosting numerous groups for over 16 years and have never had any safety concerns and have seen great ministry success. EGP has taken teams there the past couple of summers and have had some awesome mission trips. We do some ministry that is unique for them.
We will be doing house visit outreaches and 3 days of VBS for about 100 children in Mexico.
You can be a part of this team with a wide variety of ways to help based on your giftings and personality. We understand some are outgoing and like to be an “out front” person while others prefer to be “behind the scenes” and both are needed. There’s options to help perform dramas, lead worship, serving at outreaches, praying for many and helping in a different ways. We will be putting on an Encounter Night and supplies will be gathered for the many that are in need.
You can be a part of reaching those that need the truth and love of Jesus.
After our week of ministry, we’ll wrap things up by enjoying God’s creation on the beautiful Caribbean beach and snorkeling with the amazing sea-life.
Total cost for everything should be between $1,700 to $1,900. Get your $150 FLIGHT deposit and registration form in by Thursday, November 21, 2024. This will lock you in for the trip. We’ll have a group flight, the current rate for the plane ticket portion should be about $634. Wait for next batch, they will be more. (Payment Schedule $$$ for the rest.)
When you actually pay your deposit, determines which deal you get for your flight, so that’s a big factor of the trip’s cost. The closer we get to the trip, usually the plane ticket price continues to increase. Book in advance for a better deal and before the flight books up. Also another way to save money is being thrifty when buying your meals there.
One day we will have a fun excursion by taking a boat to a nearby island, Isla Mujeres. We may have some that choose to opt out and not to do the snorkel boat tour and just shop around the island, which can also be a way to save money. Would need to notify us 2 months in advance.
Breakdown is …
1. FLIGHTS from DFW when bought well in advance have usually been the best price. We’re on our 3rd batch of group tickets and they are $667. At this time, there are some of those left while they last. 1st come, 1st served. Wait any longer and the prices can increase more if there’s availability for another batch.
* Need to pay EGP a $150 non-refundable deposit that will lock you in on a great deal (this is separate from the earlier $150 REGISTRATION deposit). Then you don’t need to pay us the remaining cost of your flight until Sun. March 2nd, 2025 and another benefit is you’ll be sitting together with the group. We meet at the DFW airport on that Sat. 3 hours before departure. The terminal and gate # are t.b.a. (Others may be flying in from out of state.) WARNING – Again these group plane tickets are only while they last, meaning we will only have a certain amount of tickets with a special locked-in rate! Please make your deposit asap because you don’t want to risk not getting a group ticket or worse, the flight could even fill up. Otherwise, you’ll have to book & pay your regular rate flight directly on your own and have to pay the full amount at the time of booking and will prob. not be sitting near the rest of the group.
2. Aside from flight cost. Hotel, all gas & transportation, day to island – You’ll pay EGP $960 to cover these (& now 3 meals included). This is a nice hotel so lodging won’t be “roughing it” like at many of our past mission trips. Watch video of hotel here.
3. All MEALS & snacks – bring that $150 to $200 with you (card or cash). New this year, 3 VBS lunches are included with your payments. Our hotel offers an optional breakfast buffet (last year was only about $8 or so). See other meal options for when we’re at hotel (prices are in pesos) see menu here. Also there’s a coffee shop with drinks, sandwiches, muffins, fruit cups, etc. on site at the hotel open 24/7. (There’s no little fridges in rooms anymore but there’s a small coffee maker and an ice machine on one floor.) Meals when we’re out average about $10. If you are looking for the cheapest option and want to save money you could also bring granola bars and protein bars in place of some meals or just order less expensive food FYI.
We’re looking at the best options for our excursion. If we visit Isla Mujeres and it’s beach we’ll be surrounded by beautiful turquoise water, you can choose to shop and go on a snorkel tour & explore the sea-life. You can opt out of that if you don’t want to snorkel, let us know via email by Sun. March 3rd also make a note on the top of your registration form please.)
NOTE – There’s 3 required Prep & Prayer meetings. There will usually be one in May, one in June & one in July and are typically from 6-8:30pm. (If you’re not local /out of state, make sure to connect for live Zoom or we may have an option for videos to be uploaded.)

The character evaluation form should be filled out & sent in by a spiritual leader like their senior pastor or youth pastor (Eval form here)
See one way that families are being helped there…
