Mexico Mission 2021

In 1986, Steven Mabry took 36 youth and 9 adults to Tijuana to build homes.

Since that time, The United Church has sponsored 34 spring break trips and 6 summer trips to various areas of Mexico. We have built homes, churches, baños, orphanage walls, and home additions. Over 2600 worker weeks have provided the equivalent of 155 single homes!!

Mexico Mission 2020 would have been our 35th annual spring break trip. But we all know what happened instead. Our Amor Ministries donations and fees were sent to Puerto Peñasco. When the local government allowed, Amor staff members and local workers constructed three houses with our sponsorship. (Please consult the church website for links to photos and videos of our three families!)

We are all disappointed that we are not able to travel to Mexico this spring break. Amor Ministries writes: Please extend our thanks to all who have financially and prayerfully supported us—we continue this work because of faithful groups like yours and we appreciate you so much!

Although we can’t be there in person, it is still possible to make an impact. We can sponsor the three houses we would have built in the next few weeks! At $4000 per house sponsorship, that would be $12,000.

We are designating April 2021 as MEXICO MISSION Month! Donations can be sent by check to the church (designate Mexico Mission in the memo line) or online through the church website. On Sunday, April 25th, we will dedicate the zoom coffee hour to Mexico Mission. Join in to hear from special guests, and maybe even an auction item or two!

If you want to know more, please contact Rev. Keith Lewis or Randy & Laura Erickson.

THANK YOU for your generous support of this worthwhile adventure!
