A "Mission Trip" is something often referred to in Christian churches or ministries. A Mission Trip is a short trip, usually a couple weeks to a couple months, in which a group of people go on a trip with the purpose of participating in humanitarian service or preaching the gospel. These trips are usually open to anyone interested in participating and are offered through a variety of programs. The rules and requirements for a mission trip vary depending on who is in charge of the trip.
An LDS Mission is something that only worthy members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints may go on. Males and Females ages 19 to 25 apply to Church headquarters to be called on a mission. An LDS missionary does not ge to choose where or when they will be going. If chosen, an LDS missionary will be sent to where Church leaders feel they are needed most. Females will serve for 18 months and males for 24 months. The main focus of these missions is preaching, although missionaries are required to spend at least several hours a week in community or humanitarian service. An LDS mission is much more rigid than a general "missions trip". There are very strict rules that must be followed, including putting your entire focus, 24/7 on preaching the gospel. Contacting family and friends, entertainment (music, movies, television), and other activities are not allowed. Retired senior couples may also apply for LDS missions, although they usually serve in administrative positions rather than as preachers.

How safe is it to take teenagers on a missions trip to Reynosa?
If you have a good amount of responsible adults and the teenagers are mature. My parents live in Mcallen, TX the border town right across Reynosa, Mexico. Right now is not the best time for mission trips to border towns in Mexico because of the drug war between the cartels. I would suggest that you look at other mission trip options. Here's an organization that offers mission trips in the U.S. and abroad. http://www.experiencemission.org/
