I am raising money for the expenses to go to the City of Children to help spread God's word and love to the kids.

God has blessed me with an opportunity to travel on my first mission trip! I have never been on one and look forward to being able to bless the lives of others with the love of God! Please keep us in your prayers as we work towards this goal.
Each year, a group of kids from Columbia Academy are chosen to go to Ensenada, Mexican to the City of Children. The City of Children is a loving home for approximately 60 abandoned, abused, neglected, or impoverished children. The ages of children range from infancy through the teenage years. The home is located on a 69-acre ranch just outside of Ensenada, Mexico on the Baja Peninsula. It was started 45+ years ago as an outreach of the church of Christ in California. It is well known throughout Mexico as a place of loving care and acceptance.
I, Jaksen Brooks, have the opportunity to travel to the City of Children with a group of students from Columbia Academy. We all are volunteering to substitute a week of our spring break to travel and help spread God’s Word and grow the children at the City of Children closer to Christ. We will be conducting a nightly VBS, teaching the children during the day, delivering food to those in need, and completing a work project for the city – pouring a concrete slab or something similar. There are over 180 congregations and Columbia Academy that support the work at the City of Children.
Why do we go? We go to allow Christ to live through us in a way that we have never experienced. As many know, mission trips change people forever and with this being my first, I pray that it has an impact on me as well to want to work harder for the Lord.
There are two ways that you can join in this ministry with me as I prepare to serve at the City of Children.
Taking part in a mission trip is an incredible spiritual experience and opportunity for me. I am very excited to be a part of the work that God is already doing at the City of Children through Columbia Academy, to grow in my faith, and to share those experiences when I return.
Thank you so much for considering supporting me through prayer and/or a financial gift. If you choose to support my mission efforts financially, you can Venmo my father, Brandon (@brabbroo), or you can write a check to Columbia Academy with the memo “City of Children Mission Trip”. We can arrange a time to pick it up or you can mail it to Columbia Academy as well. If you do mail it, please include my name so they will know it is for my portion of the trip.
In Christian Love,
Jaksen Brooks
