FUGE is actually called M-Fuge. “M” is for missions! At M-Fuge they believe in the power of a hands-on experience. Their staff will lead students in Bible study and into the community, prepared to serve. From construction work to Vacation Bible School, the students will leave their mark on the community. All of the planning and preparation is done by the M-Fuge staff. We stay at Eastern University (a Christian College) and a typical day starts with quiet times and staff-led Bible study. Then we are off to the mission projects until late afternoon. In the evening we attend campus-wide Worship followed by Night Life and ending with HRC Group time. Talk to anyone that has gone and you will realize that it is an amazing week that has a life-long lasting impact. FUGE IS HUGE!

The Mexico Outreach mission trip is a two week service opportunity in Ensenada, Mexico, run by Azusa Pacific University open to current 9th – 12th graders. Just an hour and a half south of San Diego, students will camp in tents at Rancho El Refugio, a safe and gated property in the valley of Ensenada. They will spend two weeks immersed in the local culture, experiencing a different way of life while being the hands and feet of Christ. During the first week, students will help staff a kid’s camp for local Mexican children at the ranch.
