Mexico Mission Trip

The Amor mission trip is a short-term mission trip based on touching the lives of families in the areas we serve at the point of their greatest need. On an Amor mission trip, you will have the chance to understand the conditions of poverty through immersion. You will take bucket showers. You will get dirty. You will build a home for a family. You will experience community. You will discover the profound simplicity of how to "love your neighbor".

Amor offers mission trip opportunities to Mexico for groups, families, and individuals.

The Need

We have worked in Mexico for over 30 years, but there is still great need! Learn more about the need of the people in Mexico for safe and secure housing.

The Amor House Project

Since 1980, Amor has been perfecting the house building process in Mexico, making this the safest, most efficient, affordable trip possible. We've worked with over 311,000 volunteers to build over 16,000 homes. Amor typically builds an 11’x22’, two-room home with a concrete floor, stucco-finished exterior, weather sealed roof, two windows, and a door. An Amor house is a simple design, built according to the standards of the community so that a group without skilled labor or power tools can still complete the project.

Amor doesn't allow the use of power tools or generators on the worksite. We want everyone to be involved in the house building process and power tools do not foster that environment. We realize there are other methods of completing the building project more quickly, but we want everyone to experience the culture, get to know the family you are building for, and allow for a positive cultural experience. Our building projects may also include a double house (for larger families), schools, churches, and medical clinics, but these are dependent upon the needs of the community and the total number of mission trip participants in a group.
