Presbyterian Church Unified Mission
BorderLinks: Our goal is to give participants the opportunity to personally experience these issues and to develop their own opinions. We do this by offering travel seminars, a college credit (study abroad) program, mission trips, debt skits, conferences, meetings, and other opportunities for people from both sides of the border to come together.
With a multinational staff and bi-national headquarters on either side of the border – one in Tucson (USA) and the other in Nogales (Mexico) – BorderLinks offers unique opportunities to learn about economic and social issues along the US-Mexico border. Among the economic topics we explore are the global economy, free trade, NAFTA, international debt, microcredit programs, community banking, Mexican maquiladoras, labor conditions, and environmental problems. Social issues include politics, women’s rights, immigration policy, the US Border Patrol, crime, health concerns, and human rights.

Chester Eastside: Chester Eastside’s Mission is to bring urban and suburban people together in worship and service. Our goal is to render services to those individuals in need of food, clothing, spiritual guidance, and educational and recreational opportunities so they may meet the challenges of life. It is also our aim to convey respect for human dignity and to offer people the opportunity to realize their potential by cultivating their inner strengths, so that they may, in turn, help others to expand their horizons.
