Spring Break Trip

Casas por Cristo is more than a humanitarian organization. While building homes is what we do, our core mission is to reach our neighbors living in poverty with the love of Jesus Christ. Our ministry is about bringing hope to families in need. It's about a God that loves His children so much that He sends strangers to build them a home with no strings attached. It is our prayer that each individual we serve will know the saving grace, peace, and joy that comes only through a relationship with Jesus Christ.

A Casas por Cristo mission trip is an opportunity to involve people of all ages, skill levels, and backgrounds. No prior building experience is necessary to work on a team - just a desire to serve the Lord and the people of México. We have projects available for groups and individuals of all ages, from a multi-generational family group to a high school youth group to a group of corporate employees. 

Acuña, México is a small city of about 130,000 directly across the border from Del Rio, Texas (about 150 miles southwest of San Antonio). It's a small and sleepy border town with pockets of poverty, but is one of the fastest growing cities in all of México.

 Based the size of our group, we will create a trip project that meets the needs ofour team. Typical team sizes for the various group projects are organized according to:

•A group of 12-18 people typically build a "single" - an 11' by 22' home with two rooms for a family of up to five.

•A group of 18-25 people typically builds a "double" - roughly a 15' by 30' home with three rooms for families of five or more.

This year the trip will take place the week of March 11, 2012.  The trip typically takes 4-5 days to complete.  The cost per person will depend on the number of persons attending.  The approximate cost will be $300-$350 per person.  This includes building supplies, travel, food and accomodations.  Sign up is currently underway! 

All persons going on the trip need a passport.  This can be a time consuming process.  Beginning the process NOW is strongly suggested.
