Homes for Hope

Unless the LORD builds the house, its builders labor in vain
Psalm 127:1
Mexico Group Photo


JT and J took a weekend trip to Mexico with a STORM team from our church that partnered with YWAM.  They left Friday and returned home late Sunday night.  They went with 100 people to build 4 homes in 2 days!  They had an amazing weekend and are looking forward to going next year to bless more families - enjoy the photos:

These pictures are of the town - the sewage runs into the town creating a horrible stench! The front of the property where JT & J was a large ditch that had rebar sticking straight up because they are going to build a septic there...totally unsafe and scary.  J said if a small child falls into  that ditch they would die immediately!

Below are the pictures of the finished house...There is no running water or central heat, but electricity.  The family chosen is in the second picture and there is a picture of the inside of the house!
