Students and Their Families Join to Take Mission Trips
While Riegg Language Concepts does not sponsor any mission trips, we highly recommend them and many of our students take them. There is no better way to put your Spanish skills into action than by using them in a country where everyone speaks the language. A recent trip that some of our students took was to Rancho Santa Marta in Baja California, Mexico.
Here is what Luke had to say about the trip: "My experience at the Rancho Santa Marta was astounding, enriching, and a time of serene joy. Doing physical work along with the other members of the team, as well as playing with the children living there in order to further the mission of God’s kingdom, gives one a sense of belonging, fulfillment, and purpose. Rare is the time when I have felt closer to God or more led by His will. Should the opportunity ever arise in my lifetime to enter that peaceful valley where the Ranch is situated, I doubt that much exists to keep me from going. If anyone were to ask me whether they should go, I would reply by saying that they need to talk to God about it first. As far as I am concerned, yes. You must go. If you don’t... who will? Washed in Crimson Red, Luke"

"Visiting Rancho Santa Marta was a blessing in so many ways. Getting hands on experience with my Spanish skills and seeing how God is working in Mexico was an amazing learning experience that I won't soon forget." ~Sarah A.~
