Along with our Partners: Bob and Nancy Monfort – Missionaries from Calvary Open Bible Church, Antioch, we were blessed to be able to travel to San Luis Rio Colorado Mexico to meet, fall in love and build a home for this beautiful family! Our group included Bob “The Builder” James & Jill “The Photographer” Gohransen which made the trip even more special!

This is Pastor and Pastora Maria Elena Castro - Pastors of Centro Familiar Cristiano el Refugio Church in San Luis Rio Colorado. We were blessed and honored to build them a home in October! It was great to have some of the men from the Refugio Rehab center pitch in an help build their pastors casita.

They are a special family. Hector works 7 days a week, riding his bicycle to work where he makes about $11.00/day working at the gas station. Monse is housebound because of her disability. Her only time away from home is when Pastor Adan picks her up for church. They are a very hardworking, loving family who are so grateful to God for the blessing of their new home.

This family is delighted with their new house. Not only did the team build their home, Pastor Adan built an outhouse for them as well. Roberto worked very hard at clearing the land. So many people came together to bless this dear family. The day after we completed construction, we moved them into their new home.

Angelina is a survivor. She is a kind, compassionate gracious lady who spends her time serving others. She lived in the United States for 22 years and has 6 children living in the United States. She was deported and found herself alone in San Luis Rio Colorado. She began taking care of a couple and works 7 days a week doing home care. She attends Igelsia Monte de Dios. Her property is adjacent to Hector and Monse's property. She loves her new home.

We first met this dear family during the Community Outreach in January of 2013. Dominga and Francisco were working and Josaline was taking care of her sisters and brother.As a result of the outreach, they began attending Iglesia Monte de Dios. We were excited to build a home for this family who has such need. The building was truly a family project as the children loved to help us paint.In addition to building their home, we installed a solar system so they have lights for the first time.
