2026 Crossroads - Mexico
Piedras Negras, Mexico - Fall Break
Get ready for an incredible Fall Break 2026 as Southeast Christian Church heads to Piedras Negras, Mexico, with CrossRoads Missions! We’re taking a team of up to 50 people—students, families, and adults of all ages—on a week packed with purpose, adventure, and life-changing impact. Student groups will enjoy a 4:1 student-to-adult ratio for support and safety, while families with younger kids (under 13) can serve together side-by-side. You’ll swing hammers for construction projects, bring hope and help through immigrant relief, and share the gift of language in ESL classes. Every day is a chance to show the love of Jesus in tangible ways, build deep connections across cultures, and see God move in powerful, unexpected ways. This isn’t just a trip—it’s an experience that will challenge, inspire, and stay with you forever!

1. Complete a Southeast Volunteer Application sent to you by Short-Term Missions.
