A formational journey that immerses you into the human story of immigration, responsibly giving you access to otherwise inaccessible people and places. Learn from some of the best peacemakers in the world embedded in the borderlands of San Diego/Tijuana. Come away with a deeper understanding of the culture of a border community, the physical and psychological barriers in the immigration system and the barriers we seek to overcome as everyday peacemakers in our daily lives, our communities and our places of worship.
