Texas Christian Community Development Network's At the Border Exposure Trip is designed to allow us the opportunity to be among the people we so desire to serve. Our hope is that this Exposure Trip to the Border will enhance our understanding of Immigrants, challenge prevailing modes of thought, and expand our range of understanding on relevant community issues, and all things community development.
