Rancho Santa Marta is a non-denominational residential school for kids with special needs operated by Bethesda Ministries. Located on a 450-acre ranch near San Vicente, Baja Mexico, their mission and vision is to “expand the reach of the Gospel in our region of Mexico by meeting the needs for these children-at-risk.” Their two foundational programs are a home for homeless, orphaned or abused children, and a kindergarten, elementary, junior high and high school with a special education mainstreaming program for children with learning disabilities. Our tasks for the week often include roofing, cement work, painting, sewing, peach orchard work, bucking hay and general construction. Faith Lutheran Church and St. John's Episcopal Church invite you to join us for this misison trip! You can learn more at this planning meeting.
