In 2026, a team from Father\u2019s Vineyard traveled to Mexico to support our missionaries in El Monte. Through practical service, fellowship, and encouragement, our team came alongside those faithfully serving the community.<\/p>\n

The purpose of the trip was simple: to offer our time and abilities, strengthen relationships, and share the love of Jesus through service.<\/p>\n

Serving with Willing Hands<\/h2>\n

Missions takes shape in practical ways. Our team put their skills to work, including operating a backhoe, while adults and children spent time together building relationships.<\/p>\n

Supporting our missionaries involves both helping with practical needs and offering personal encouragement. Working alongside one another and gathering around the table provided opportunities to strengthen the partnership between Father\u2019s Vineyard and our missionaries in El Monte.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Generations Serving Together<\/h2>\n

This trip brought several generations together with a shared purpose. Adults and young people participated in the journey, spending time with our missionaries and experiencing the value of serving others.<\/p>\n

We are grateful for each person who made the trip and contributed their time and willingness to serve. Opportunities like these help our church family grow in its commitment to missions and its care for those serving abroad.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Building Relationships<\/h2>\n

Shared meals, conversations, and time with children were meaningful parts of our visit. These everyday opportunities for fellowship helped deepen relationships and allowed our team to offer encouragement through their presence.<\/p>\n

Alongside the work, our team also enjoyed the beauty of Mexico and time together. We are thankful for the opportunity to serve and for the relationships strengthened throughout the trip.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
