UPCOMING GLOBAL EXCHANGES
If you want to impact a country, you must first reach its leaders! This is the goal of the Global Exchange to Ixtapa, Mexico. Working together with the local leaders in Ixtapa and Zihuatanejo, we hope to establish a sustainable platform to connect marketplace leaders! As a member of this team you will be involved in dinner parties, sector outreaches, business events and one-on-one interactions with Mexican leaders to impact their cities and country.
The city of Ixtapa has a population of about 30,000 and resides in the Mexican state of Guerrero. It is a unique city, having been built in the early 1970s on an old coconut plantation as a government-planned tourist destination. There you will find high-rise hotels, stylish restaurants and outdoor shopping malls. This modern city, partnered with its traditional “twin city” counterpart, Zihuatanejo, is the perfect combination of Mexican culture. Because of Ixtapa’s touristic nature, the business sector is primarily made up of food service, hospitality, and exploration activities. Ixtapa is also known for its sustainability policies and practices and is recognized as a worldwide leader in responsible tourism.
As a team member you will receive our best training to develop your personal faith story and improve your skills as a speaker. You will also have opportunities to share ideas with other Canadian leaders and your professional experience with local leaders. This opportunity is designed to increase your leadership confidence, build relationships with leaders in Mexico and Canada, and inspire you to make a difference back in your own city. We hope that you will join us in Ixtapa for this life-changing experience.

PAST GLOBAL EXCHANGES
Despite facing challenges in travel and illness, the team members pushed forward, caring for one another and trusting in God.
“Transformation“. In April our team of 16 men and women had the privilege to witness and participate in seeing miraculous transformation in the hearts of people young and old, all across the city of Medellín, Colombia.
After having to cancel the last planned trip to Panama in March 2020, anticipation was high for our return to Panama City.
Ixtapa/Zihuatanejo is indeed a tropical paradise but behind the scenes lies a vibrant church community and a local population that is desperate for strong leadership with Christian values.
We were excited for our first visit to this city in the Dominican Republic.
After a 3 year wait, we resumed Global Exchanges with a long-awaited trip to Guatemala.
