This past September, 22 MorningStar team members traveled to northern Mexico for a truly life-changing mission trip—building homes, serving others, and sharing love that leaves a lasting impact.

Over two meaningful days, our team worked alongside incredible families living in poverty to build two beautiful new homes. The joy, gratitude, and deep connection experienced throughout the journey were nothing short of transformational.

We are deeply grateful to everyone who made this mission possible—through prayers, donations, time, and unwavering support. Together, we are lighting the way and making a difference both globally and in our local communities.
