House-Building Mission to Juarez, Mexico
In May of 2001, 14 young people from local churches went on a special trip to Mexico.
Their mission: To build a house for a needy family. This is their story.
|
 |
On the Way...
Dirt roads everywhere,
rough ride all the way. |
|
 |
The Neighbourhood...
Hot & cold running kids,
no running water. |
|
 |
The Old House...
Dirt floor, cardboard walls,
maybe a bit of roof. |
|
A Family in Need...
|
 |
|
 |
Foundation...
Finding out the truth
about trigonometry.
(Or is that geology?) |
|
 |
Cement Work...
Mix it, pour it, spread it.
And write your name in it. |
|
 |
Stud Work...
Hammering together a
support beam. |
|
 |
Building the Walls...
Learning how to avoid
nailing their own feet. |
|
 |
Building the Walls...
Counting the doors
and windows. |
|
 |
Building the Walls...
Um, how many walls?
|
|
 |
Walls Up...
Stand 'em up,
nail 'em down. |
|
 |
Insulation...
Even Mexico gets cold
once in a while. |
|
 |
Dirty Work...
Yet another miracle
takes place under
less-than-ideal
conditions. |
|
 |
Icing the Cake...
Spreading the stucco finish
as the house nears completion. |
|
 |
Dedication of the House...
A moment of Thanksgiving,
a lifetime of giving praise
to the Lord! |
|
 |
So Who You Gonna Call ??
(Roll Ghostbusters Theme...) |
|
 |
Going Home... After a job well done, the crew takes a break State-side.
|
|
 |
Moon Over Mexico...
Sounds like a great name
for a movie. |
