Welcome to our blog that details more about a radically organic, cross-cultural ministry called Ventana. Are you on your way to the college battle field, but not really feeling equipped? Does it seem like something’s missing in your faith? If you’ve just graduated from high school and are ready to stop floating through life, come spend nine months with us and help further the great commission. We serve, learn, and play for three months in California, then spend six months in Mexico living among the poor and marginalized. Have you ever picked tomatoes with a migrant worker in Baja? Are you ready to feed the homeless by the beach? If you really want to be like Christ, you have to do what Christ did. With plenty of time for surf and eyes focused on the cross, our staff is ready to meet you where you are… and then guide you through the waves of missions-focused service. We believe you’ll either change the world, or you’ll be changed by it. Don’t get caught in the riptides of indecisiveness… hook up with Ventana Ministries and become a servant-minded disciple of Christ.
