COST
$1,150.00
Casas por Cristo relies on the labor and resources of full time staff missionaries, a board of over 100 pastors and community leaders from Mexico, Guatemala and Dominican Republic, and nearly 7,000 annual volunteers from across North America. Through these cross-cultural partnerships, volunteer teams are presented with an amazing opportunity to build a home for a family in need.

MPCC has the incredible opportunity of assisting the local church in Navarrete, Dominican Republic by operating a week of sports camps. This mission trip for high school students allows them to use their love of sports and for kids to make an impact on a local community. We will run five two-a-day camps to attract kids and families so that they church can share the gospel with them.  Any high school student interested in missions should consider joining us for a great week.
