Brochure

Medi-Mex, Inc. is a qualifying
501(c)(3) not-for-profit Christian organization
supported by volunteer workers and donor
giving. Since 1990 we have delivered semiloads of donated medical equipment and
supplies, along with thousands of pounds of
food, clothing, and toys. Medi-Mex partners
with Casa Hogar Bienvenidos to provide 2
meals a day for 50 children. And we work
with Welcome Home Outreach to build homes
for families in the name of Jesus Christ.
At least once a year we organize Work
Groups of kindhearted Americans who travel
with us to Mexico’s Baja Peninsula and
volunteer their time and
various types of expertise.
Our groups have consisted
of retirees, young people,
families, students, and
other regular people
looking for a meaningful
experience. Nurses,
doctors, carpenters,
electricians, painters,
and random helpers have
joined us for 7–10 days at
a time—building houses,
setting up equipment,
delivering medicine, and
making lasting friendships.
If you’d like to be part of
a Work Group, use the

True, when Medi-Mex meets people like Rosa, sometimes the first thing we see is her poverty. The
destitution of the city of Vicente Guerrero is different from anything we experience in the States. It breaks
our hearts, and we want to help.
But we know that material poverty is not what defines Rosa and her
community. When we learn their names, and experience their hospitality,
and laugh with their children—we feel more like them than different
from them.
Sweating side-by-side with them as we construct each cement block home, we
are glad to be part of building a stronger foundation. Smiling together as we
hand out school uniforms and supplies, we all understand the brighter future
that becomes possible. Throughout each visit, as we serve, and create, and
worship with them, we are reminded over and over that these people too are
made in the
of God. Just
us.
