FBCW Mission Trip to Baja, Mexico
July 12-19, 2026
This is the amphitheater where we will premier Pablo El Musical! with local Oaxacan children and teenagers!
Join us for a mission trip to…
the San Quintin Valley in Baja, Mexico this July 12-19 to produce “Pablo el Musical” written by Pastor Ray Sanchez. We will combine our missions team and local Baja youth to rehearse and perform this musical about the Apostle Paul. We need drivers, translators, food preparers and a host of other volunteers to make this ministry opportunity a reality! This is a joint effort between FBCW and U Reach Global. Contact Pastor Luis (lrodriguez@fbcweslaco.org) to attend!
Background
The indigenous Oaxacan people are gracious and desperate for help. The desert landscape is foreboding and inviting at the same time. The ocean is dangerous and calming. uReach volunteers have built over 100 homes, schools, and other projects in the area, but an estimated 20,000 families need adequate housing. We will be coming alongside house-building groups to minister to the Oaxacan people, sharing the gospel through music and theater.
