 Mexico
Mission Trip
Our
church locally goes to Jaurez, Mexico every
year to buld a house for those in need. Casas
por Cristo works with the local Protestant church
to help meet the needs of their communities.
With so many families living in extreme poverty
and inadequate housing, the pastors have found
that these physical limitations hamper their
ability to impress that there is a God who loves
them enough to take care of their needs. We
aid the local church in helping to remove some
of these distracting physical barriers to allow
them to have a greater opportunity to reach
out for their spiritual needs.
