Acuna Mexico

October 8-12, 2026

We offer group and individual mission trips to Acuña, México. In three to four days, partner with a local church to construct a home from start to finish for a family in need. We offer one type of home in Acuña, known as the México model.

Through building homes, our ministry helps relieve this burden of housing so that families can focus their income towards providing food and education for their family in order to help break this cycle.

Your Giving Is Changing Our Community

It’s impossible to out-give God—but you will never regret giving Him your best.

God has poured out blessings we could never earn and don’t deserve, offering us grace, forgiveness, and ultimately the gift of His Son. At Passion, one of our core values is to live with irrational generosity. Because of your faithfulness, we are able to financially support nine incredible local organizations that are bringing hope and practical help to people across our region.
