Mexicai Mexico Mission Trips

Healing Hands

is our "hands-on"

mission opportunity

in Mexicali, Mexico.

Come with us on

our next trip!

October 1-3

Come and join our next short-term mission outreach to Mexicali, Mexico. All you need is a willing heart and a passport or passport card--Bruce Lacey and his team will provide the training you may need to help work on the medical and dental clinic complex that Healing Hands is operating as its second location. Missionaries Bruce and Yvonne Lacey and John & Alishia Thompson are now living full-time at the hospital site (see www.fortheleastofthesebaja.org ) , along with Dr Angel Revis and our helper, Arnolful. We need to get lots of clean-up, painting, and fix-up done to improve the facilities. Then on Saturday evening, we'll go to a local church or neighborhood to show some Christian love to the people there. e-mail this site (under "contact us") for more information if you will go with us.

Pray for Roberto and Olivia, our on-site missionaries at the Eslas Clinic site, and for their new church; for open hearts as we reach out to some of the world's poorest people with a message of hope; for Dr. Maya and the Eslas clinic operations; for the newely re-opened medical and dental site and its new doctor, Dr. Angel Revis, and for Bruce and Yvonne Lacy, who live on site and manage the Healing Hands mission organization.

Directions to both of our Clinic site in Eslas Agrarius A and Guanajuto (neighborhoods of Mexicali, Mexico):

Go East on Interstate 10 past Indio, and turn right (South) onto Hwy 86S (next exit after Hwy 111 exit). Stay on 86S to Brawley. Go through Brawley on Main St. staying in the left lane as you exit the city and turn right on the new Hwy 111 one block past the city limits, to Calexico. As you enter Calexico, you will see a Wal-Mart on the left at Cole Road—a favorite meeting place for groups going to Mexicali. Go to the next stop light and turn left (East) on Birch street (Hwy 98), unless you need Mexican car insurance and/or lunch.

{If you need car insurance or lunch, continue on Imperial Ave. another half-block and select one of the Mexical car insurance offices on your right. Take your driver's license and vehicle registration into one of the offices (we use Mex Insurance Services, Inc) Cost is about $25 for liability only for 2 days. (You can call ahead (760)357-8886 to get your insurance faxed to you, or get it online at http://www.mexinsure.com/) (Now if you are hungry, YUM YUM is further down, on the left side of the street) The insurance offices and Yum Yum are past your turn-off, so go around the block to get back (North) to Birch, and turn right (East) on Birch street.}

After the road narrows, turn right at the next light (Menvielle Road).

Turn Right (South) on Hwy 7 and follow the signs to the boarder crossing. At the boarder, you will go through control lights. If green when the gate opens, or turned off, go left and bounce over the big speed bumps into Mexico. If red, drive straight ahead to the boarder guard. Tell them you’re going to Eslas Agrarias A, (say “Ees’-las A grar’ ius, Ah”) which means agricultural island A (there is also a “B”). Motor homes and big trucks go to the right and always get to talk to the guards. Have your driver's license and registration ready.

After the boarder crossing, turn left at the next big intersection with a left turn lane and go 1.5 miles. Turn left at Aeropureto Road (double left-turn lane) and go 4.8 miles. Do not exit to the right on Hwy 1—but go straight, past the giant cactus on your right. The road bends right and goes under the underpass and past a big cardboard box plant on the left. (*** at this point, if you are going to the Guanajuato clinic and dental site instead of Eslas, skip down to the *** below)

Turn left (East) at the stop light which takes you from Hwy 1 to Hwy 8 & 2, and go 7/10ths mile. Turn right at the only stop sign in town, at the “Consoltorio Dental” sign, which will be just beyond the high radio towers with the red light on top that you can see on your right from the road. Go 4/10ths mile and turn left just after the canal onto a very bad dirt road—there will be a brick wall on your right with a sign “Clinica Valle de La paz.”

Go 4/10ths mile and turn right. The sign for the clinic is facing the other way, but there is another clinic sign down the road a bit. Go 100 yards; the clinic is on your right. Turn right through the gate in the chain link fence onto the Clinic grounds (may need to honk to get Roberto or Olivia to open the compound.

***(Guanajuato site: instead of turning left onto Hwy 8 & 2 (see above), stay on Hwy 1 where you should be passing green light poles in the center divider, for another 2 miles. Turn left at the "T" with the big cell tower in front of you. Stay left; do not take the right turn lane in the next block. Follow the signs to Ejido Puebla--merging right, then immediately turn left at the first light, still following the Ejido Puebla signs. You'll go through 8 "ALTO" signs during the next mile, then the road bends left after you cross the railroad tracks. Go another 1.9 miles and turn left at the "GUANAJUATO" sign, go up and over the railroad tracks, and go another 1.2 miles on Guanajuato street, where you will cross a bridge and immediately turn right onto a dirt road. If you did it right, there will be a sign in front of you announcing "Clinica Valle oe la Paz"). From Rim Church in Running Springs, its about 200 miles to either site, and on a good traffic day with no boarder lines, takes 3 1/2 to 4 1/2 hours depending on your speed and stops.

Bring your passport or passport card to make getting back into the US quick and easy….well, easy anyway.
