Casas Por Cristo

If your or your church has been thinking about a simple short-term mission trip, I have one for you. Casas Por Cristo is this really cool charity that facilitates American teams building houses for low income families in Juarez, Mexico. The trips normally take 3-4 days (depending on how many people you can bring) and cost a total of $4100 for materials for the 12-18 people you bring (so around $250-350 a person). If you register by April 10, Casas will reduce that by $500 to just $3600! They work through the local church in Juarez, and it’s pretty common for churches who do this once to keep sending groups every year after they first participate. So, for more information on how your youth group, men’s group, or church group could do something like this, visit GivingForALiving.com or call 1(800) 819-8014

One of our listeners emailed me these pictures of the conditions in Juarez, where he used to live. The conditions are even more extreme than I knew yesterday! Pay attention to the "houses" you see in the backgrounds.
