A chance to provide physical and spiritual care to the people of Mexico City. OSI welcomes all ages, skillsets, and professions to serve on the mission field. Enjoy a week of faithful service, spiritual renewal, and encouraging fellowship in Mexico City.

❋ Diligent Service

Engage in biblical stewardship with those around you. Meet the medical, social, and economic needs of the people while also being a witness to them.

❋ Expert Leadership

Every Mercy Mission is headed by experienced missionaries who have been leading these trips for decades. They are wise, discerning, capable, and proven spiritual leaders.

❋ Spiritual mentorship

Grow in your walk with Christ as you are mentored by other spiritual leaders on the team. Have your faith challenged and stretched, prompting a lasting change in your spiritual life.

Ensuring your safety is our number one priority on these missions. All hotels, restaurants, and work sites are approved beforehand—in addition to other safety measures. These costs are all included in the $950 land fee for the trip.

Healing

Care for the physical needs of the people in Mexico City. At each ministry location, OSI sets up a clinic led by licensed medical professionals to provide medical, optical, and dental care to the local community. Do you or someone you know have medical experience and a heart for the lost? Then take the next step and apply for a spot on one of our Mercy Missions today.

Note: Our Mercy Missions are not exclusive to medical professionals. We provide many avenues for service, not just clinical care. All ages, skillsets, and professions are welcomed and needed.

Fellowship

Grow together in the field, encouraging fellow team members in their service and spiritual walk. Find joy in community and pour into those around you to foster an environment of encouragement, accountability, and shared purpose.
