Mission: Mexico 2024, departing on June 1st
Our partnership with Faith Ministry enables our congregation to provide food and life-giving assistance to families in Reynosa.
If you are interested in joining the Mexico Mission Trip, please contact Debra Chesnutt (debra@chestnutt.com) for more information. This opportunity is open to all adults, High School Students and parent-accompanied middle schoolers.
Deposit information and application deadlines will be announced in the future. Print your application by visiting this website.
The Buy a Block/Build a House program
It takes approximately 600 blocks to build a 12’ x 24’ home in Mexico. The Witness Committee – under the authority of the Session – has created the Buy A Block/Build A House program to allow more people to participate directly in the Mexico Mission. All who wish to join are encouraged to buy blocks at $10 each. You can buy as many as you wish and we will track the progress in Eller Hall. Donation envelopes and a box to put them in are located in Eller Hall.
In addition, we want everyone to fill in index cards with prayers and favorite Scriptures for the families we will build the houses for. As the team builds the walls of the houses, we will place the cards in the blocks so that as we build the house, we will also cover the house with Scripture and prayers for the families. Again, these cards are in Eller Hall.
We hope that everyone in the congregation will participate in both the buying of blocks AND covering the families with Holy Scripture and prayer. It is not necessary that you buy a block in order to participate in the Scripture/prayer ministry.
