Mario and Rosa Padilla Urena will have a new home by May 31, built by 11 Northminster Presbyterian Church participants. Working through Solana Beach Presbyterian Church and Amor Ministries, we will be a part of over 220 people building more than 12 homes during the Memorial Day Weekend. The NPC crew will work without power tools, working as a team to build walls and roof for a 2 room house, stand the walls, then wrap the walls with wire, tar paper, and chicken wire. Once the roof is on, the house gets 2 coats of stucco and the family moves in!
Mario and Rosa have two children, Salvador, 8 months, and Kiara, age 2 years. They make $200 per week in construction and factory jobs. They learned about the chance to have a house built for them from a local pastor, who use this ministry as an outreach in the community where the Padilla Urena’s live and others in the Tijuana.. Amor Ministries is a non-profit organization working with a local pastor’s board to identify families in need, available land, and bring building supplies and volunteer builders together to build a house. The family is paying $50 per month for the land and the house will be built for them. Typically, the houses are 2 room wood frame houses wrapped and stucco’d, on a concrete slab.
Come Build Hope seeks to build relationships, people, and homes. Please join us in spirit through prayers as we prepare this month and journey to east Tijuana on Memorial Day Weekend.
