On May 24-26, a team of twelve from Northminster traveled with Solana Beach Presbyterian Church to Tijuana, Mexico, to build homes for the needy through Amor Ministries. It was an incredible trip!

We built a home for the Contreras family. Alberto, the father, 42, is a taxi driver and earns only $80 per week. Marta, the mother, also 42, stays home and takes care of the their five children: Maria, Crecencia, Cenaida, Alberto, and Isaias.

It was truly a blessing for us to be able to work alongside this family to build them a small house. Nothing fancy—just something that will keep them dry and warm.

The entire team, made up of people mostly from Solana Beach Presbyterian Church, as well as Northminster and Village Community Presbyterian Church, built a total of twenty-two homes on that Memorial Day weekend!
