Homes of Hope

It's crazy to think that It has been 10 months since I moved to Mexico, and even crazier when I think about all the stuff I've been able to do and see since being here,

• Building around 10 houses for families in need. 
• Trying to learn Spanish (HELP). 
• Staffing a Discipleship School of 27 students 
• Connecting with over 4000 people whilst leading an Outreach team through Mexico and Belize. 

This past weekend I started my training to become an official Builder with Homes of Hope! 

Homes of Hope is an amazing program where in just a couple of short days a group is able to transform a slab of concrete and a pile of materials into a home for a family that desperately needs it.

Day after day, month after month, workers from all over the country come here for jobs and to create better lives for themselves and their families. However, often these people are taken advantage of and end up worse off than they have been before.

Inside a house I visited last week

This means that thousands of families are left lacking what we take for granted every day: walls around us to protect us from the elements and keep our families and us secure. 

To date, Homes of Hope has already helped create a radical change in the lives of thousands of families here in Baja California. This year the program is celebrating 25 years and will be building the 5000th home!

I am so excited that I get to start working more and more with this program and see transformation in the lives of the people of Ensenada.
