We have pitched this page for you group leaders who will be working with us in Mexico. It may take a little time to read through the following pages but something as important as a trip to a foreign country, the planning, the time, the money. . . you want it to go right! So do we!

In reading and understand the following pages of tips and advice you should be well equipped to bring your group into our world and work with us and expect a maximum impact.

We at Spectrum are more interested in changing lives than we are in doing the job. Our big work days are simply a vehicle for challenging and changing lives.

Read on.

• CHECK LIST

• HOUSING AND TRANSPORTATION OPTIONS
  Of course you will want to know your options. This page will give you several options in housing your group and in obtaining transportation for your time with us. Always plan ahead! If you don't your dead!

• GETTING ON OUR CALENDAR
  Before anything else you must get on our calendar! Never plan on just popping in! The Spectrum experience seems to be popular so our calendar is full. Plan ahead for both your days working with us in Mexico as well as using our dormitory.

• OUR MINISTRY IN TIJUANA
  Ministry simply means serving. Somewhere along the line it became a term. Ministry as a term is so large that we have to define what our ministry consists of. This section deals more with our rather unique approach to ministry. We see all of our programs and projects as vehicles to reach people.

• WHAT WE EXPECT!
  This page will give you as a leader an idea of what we will expect of our visiting co-workers. Spectrum has a good testimony in all of our barrios and we want to keep it that way. Be sure to come in as a guest and with the right attitude and dressed right too.

• BAJA TRAVEL TIPS
  Because you will be driving in Tijuana please review the Baja travel tips section. This will give you more confidence in knowing the actual rights and wrongs of Tijuana travel. Drive like a pro!

• WILL I NEED AN ID TO RETURN TO THE US
  This section is short and sweet. The answer to this question is a definite yes! You as leader better insure that each person has his I.D or proper paperwork to return to the USA OR you will be taking your precious time in securing their identification for them. You are responsible. Understand this.
