Movement Missions partners with Rancho El Camino (The Ranch), in La Paz Mexico. Rancho el Camino is a unique place where teams can experience the glory of God through His beautiful creation. It is situated in the Sonoran Desert and surrounded by majestic mountains. The Ranch serves the people of La Paz, Mexico, and around the world through recreational therapy programs and community development initiatives. They work alongside the local churches and the local government in providing programs for children, teens, and families. The ranch has a strong missional focus among teens in Mexico and the US.

It is place where people ENCOUNTER the Presence of God, are EQUIPPED for the work of God, EXTEND the Kingdom of God, and EXALT the name of God.

They host short term teams who come to learn how to live a life of service and compassion and work alongside and through their already existing programs. Another goal for the ranch is to see it reach it’s full agricultural and sustainable energy potential. Plans are underway for the ranch to becoming a model for modern day missions using renewable energy and sustainable agricultural systems to extend the gospel of compassion to those in need.

La Paz is the capital of Baja California Sur and the largest city in the region. It enjoys the comforts of a modern city while at the same time sitting in the rugged and beautiful Sonoran desert nestled up to the Sea of Cortez. The Bay of La Paz is generally very calm, hence the city’s name which means “The Peace” in Spanish. La Paz is the home of some of the most beautiful beaches in the world, as the dry desert coastline clashes with the turquoise blue waters of the Sea of Cortex. During your time you will have the opportunity to explore and experience the beauty!

*Note this is a general schedule to give you an idea of what your trip may look like. Exact schedule may vary and is subject to change. Life in southern Baja, Mexico is very similar to an island culture and time does not hold the same importance as in the US. The Ranch will make plans and projects but they also work within the local culture and adapt accordingly. The best thing you can do to prepare yourself is to come with a teachable spirit, maintain a flexible attitude, and keep a willingness to jump in and serve!
