In March of 2024, a group from Immanuel headed down to Mexico City to learn from our partners at AMEXTRA about how communities across Mexico have come together to support the increasing number of migrants traveling through their country on the way to the U.S. border. To hear more about our week and what we learned along the way, check out this video recap that was shared in worship April 7th.

AMEXTRA's:
Excerpt from a December 2020 Thank You letter from AMEXTRA: 'These donations from Immanuel are so helpful in Lomas where this year has brought a lot of new challenges. Thanks to your support and that of others like you we have been able to keep providing educational support in Lomas, hiring another education promotor (Emma) to help Mariana. We also have some exciting news that we will be looking to hire a psychologist to be a part of the team in Lomas and help attend to children with issues of trauma or other needs of psychological accompaniment. It is great to share these project improvements with you and all the congregation at Immanuel, knowing that you are a huge part of this program´s continued success.
For 30 years Immanuel has supported, encouraged and partnered with the work of Amextra in Lomas de San Isidro - on the eastern edge of Mexico City.
