High School Ministry: Juarez, Mexico
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 High School Ministry has the incredible opportunity of working together to transform an otherwise empty lot into a safe and secure home – complete with cement foundation, electricity, windows, and doors. This mission trip for high school students will help you gain perspective on the extreme poverty that exists in our world. You will also be blessed to see how you’ve changed the world for this family. As a result, this family, and their neighbors, better understand God’s plan for their lives and his deep desire to take care of their needs. Any high school student interested in missions should consider joining us for a great week.
