Youth Mexico Mission Trip 2005

On March 12-19, 2005, youth in grades 7-12th and adult sponsors (81 people) will be doing mission work in or near Juarez, Mexico. They will be building two single room houses and one double room house. All the work is done with hand tools (no electricity, no running water). They will be tent camping within an AMOR compound. The AMOR compound will have around the clock guards that ensure safety for everyone while at camp.

Ginna talked to Barry. They had just pulled into the church at Midland for the night. All the houses were completed with two coats of stucco each. The group is expected to arrive home about 4:00p Saturday afternoon. Please come up to the church to welcome them home. Stay tuned for stories and photos. There are bound to good ones!

Happy St. Patrick's Day! It was really neat to see the houses that they built last year. The orphanage was a blessing! Today is the last day to work on the houses. One of our teams finished with their house & are going to help another group (not our church) with theirs. Keanan was thrilled to get to participate in yell practice with a group of Texas Aggies.

Andrea talked to Zeke. It was 26 degrees last night. The 2 single houses are side by side and are ahead of schedule. The double house is a little behind schedule but coming along nicely. This morning they are going to drive by the 2 houses that they built last year. This afternoon they will visit the orphanage.

Ginna spoke to Barry last night.  They are having great weather, it rained just enough to cool things down.  He is so impressed with how hard the kids are working.  Everything is still going great!

Andrea talked to Zeke & everything is going great!  They have their camp all set up.  Today is their first day at the construction site - it is a little windy which really kicks the sand up but they can live with it.
