Our annual mission to Baja California to build houses is BACK! Every year, a team of people volunteer their Memorial Weekend to go build houses for those in need in Baja Mexico. We'd love you to join them for this life-altering experience. All ages are welcome, no skills are required.

- This weekend will be a lot of physical labor. We will spend the entire Saturday and Sunday morning building a house, ground up. The only thing that will be done prior to us starting will be the cement flooring and some wood cutting. We will be painting, drilling, hammering, mudding the walls, nailing the shingles, holding up walls, walking around, and more.
-
- We are also raising money for the building of a house ($8800 total). If you'd like to donate toward a house, donations will be accepted in the “Joy Box” at the back table (with a note saying what it's for) or online under “Give” (select the "Baja - House Gifts" fund).
- Please keep in mind that the water in Mexico is different than in the U.S. and you will not be allowed to drink/swallow tap water, as you might get sick. Water bottles will be provided for replacement. If you are worried about anything or want to know more, please do not hesitate to ask us.
This video helps demonstrate the work that will happen over Memorial Weekend. This video does not showcase the location where we will be staying.
