Borderlands Trip 2027

Trip dates: February 18-21

Info meeting: Sunday, September 27, 11:45 am

Learn about and consider applying for our next NCC Borderlands trip in early 2027.

The trip will take us on an immersive journey, guided by the organization Journey Home, into the relational and systemic implications of borders. While this experience is set in the context of the Mexico/U.S. border, the learning offers tools to evaluate and transcend any border that divides.

We will meet with various folks and organizations from San Diego and Tijuana involved in or impacted by the immigration system. We will listen firsthand to stories from those whose lives are directly impacted by or involved with our immigration system.

Past trips have included: US Border Patrol; Deported Veterans; Border Angels; Salvation Army; Mothers of Dreamers; Espacio Migrante, a Tijuana migrant shelter; and Border Church.

Our learning guides will be Jon Huckins, founder of Journey Home, and Alejandra & Abdiel Ortiz, National Staff for COMPA, Mexican partner organization of Intervarsity.
