As a border city, Juarez, Mexico provides unique opportunities for missionary training. Many aspects of Mexican culture are on display here along the border - from extreme wealth to extreme poverty, indigenous culture to American influence. In some areas of Juarez, maquiladora-fueled wealth thrives; in others, poverty, crime, and community disintegration are comparable to third-world conditions.

Yet Juarez's location - directly across the Rio Grande from El Paso, TX - makes the city easily accessible to those who wish to learn more about mission work. This unique combination of severe conditions and proximity to the United States makes Juarez ideal for an initial introduction to mission work.

As part of the growth of Life Challenge International's Missionaries in Training program, LCI and its partners have begun work on a missionary training campus in Carlos Chavira. The site will provide dorm space, retreat facilities, recreational areas, training for various skills, and more. At the campus, future missionaries from the United States, Mexico, and all over the world will come together to gain the skills and passion needed to serve God in mission work.
