Come on a journey starting in Central America and ending in the United States as we follow the route of people who are migrating. Together we will learn from their faith, hear their stories and connect them to our own, and learn to better love our neighbors as ourselves.

Alongside others from a church background, you will visit four countries: Costa Rica, Guatemala, Mexico, and the United States, over the course of 10 days. We will visit hubs where migrants are crossing borders, urban and rural communities that people are leaving, and neighborhoods in North America that Central Americans have come to call their new home. 

In each country, we will see the realities of the lives of migrants, and we will have conversations with people who are in the process of migrating, who have returned home after migrating, and who are currently living outside of their home country. We will learn from each other, connecting their stories with our own, and seek to understand how we all have connections to migration in some way, and learn more about the current context of Latin America so that we can better love and serve our migrant neighbors at home. 

We expect that we will hear God speaking to us through each other, and that in better understanding our interconnected world, we will respond in deeper love and gratitude for our Lord and our neighbors.
