Mission Trips
Missionary outreach is an integral portion of the church. We encourage our young people to allow their faith to grow to maturity through taking part in short-term missions projects organized by the church.
Participants have returned home with a greater vision of God's work in the world, a warmer love for His people, and an enthusiasm for further involvement with church, and community. It's all about making a lasting impression—on your life and on the lives of others.
2012 Trips
Youth Missions Trip 2012
The youth group will be serving this summer in Costa Rica with Experience Mission. EM is the group we went with last year to minster at Black Mesa Reservation in AZ. They are a group that partners with existing church ministries. The exciting part of working with EM in Costa Rica is that the group they minister to are relatively unreached. The pastors of the Bri Bri people in Talamanca CR are first generation Christians. We’ve desired to have a cross cultural exposure to missions for our students and the prospect of ministering to a people group who have not heard about Jesus is exciting.
Estimated cost is between $1300-1400 for the week of June 16-23.
For more info, take a look at the Costa Rica Student Packet - 2012 or contact Tato.
2011 Trips
JAARS Mission Trip 2011
Thank you for your prayers and your generous donations. The missions trip to North Carolina got underwaythis morning (April 10th) as the team members met at SFO at 5:30am! Despite the early hours, they were all smiles. Their flight left at 7:30am and landed just after 12:00pm. Please pray for the team as they begin the work God has put before them. Please visit their missions blog for updates on the North Carolina team and their ministry: Bernal Missions Blog
MHPC partnered with Bernal Church on a short-term missions trip to the JAARS headquarters in Waxhaw, North Carolina, during the week of April 10, 2011. They worked with Bret Taylor on several projects at the buildings where Bret ministers to Missionary Kids (MKs) and their families. People with all skill levels were welcome on this trip.

MHPC Youth Mission Trip 2011
This year we have scheduled our sr. high team to serve the Western Navajo people through a mission group called Experience Mission. Our team will have the opportunity to work and serve in Black Mesa, AZ. We will be helping out local families with home repair and remodels and have a chance to work on a specific project for the local church we will be staying at. The group will also get to work with the local Kids Club group, which will be similar to the VBS style ministries we have helped with in the past in Mexico. This will be a great challenge for our students; I look forward to seeing their commitment to Jesus expand through this experience.

Fire Update for Parents: We have been keeping a very close eye on the fires in New Mexico & Arizona. It is such a sad thing to watch and our prayers are with the families affected by these fires. Thankfully the fires have not been near where we are working. Fires are unpredictable so we are watching them closely through news and local resources on the ground. Your safety is our number one priority. If at any time we feel it is unsafe to bring teams into the area we will notify you immediately.

2005 Trips
Genesis Choir - Choir Tour 2005
The Genesis Choir embarked on a Choir Mission Tour on Tuesday July 19, 2005
and spent 6 days together, serving the Tri-Cities area of Washington State.
We were hosted during that time by the kind people at West Side Church, This
is Pastor Mark’s former congregation.
Over those several days, Genesis learned a lot about serving others through
music and worship, about how God can work through us in spite of language
barriers, about working with each other toward a common cause, and about
just how wonderful it can be to concentrate on the serving the Lord 24/7.

MHPC Youth Mexico Mission Trip 2005
Mexico - Rancho De Sus Ninos
The trip was a great success.
Rancho De Sus
Ninos (RDSN) is located in between Tecate and Tijuana and serves the
surrounding Colonias. The Colonias are the local villages where the poorer
percentages of the population live. The Rancho seeks to serve those
communities through a variety of ministries including:
- Coordinating local church services
- Organizing and running a VBS at a daycare
- Facilitating and advertising for an evangelical
outreach event in a local Colonia
Each day was action packed at the orphanage. We woke up
around 7:00 and often did not get back from our afternoon ministry until
9:30, when we had dinner. Students were involved in devotional activities
twice a day. Of course life at RDSN also took a lot of adjusting to...
- Only portable restrooms (affectionately name 1st, 2nd
and 3rd John)
- Two shower max during the week (military style)
- Chewy drinking water (imported so it is pure, but
still filled with minerals)
