What is CrossPoint’s Mexico Loft House Build?
It is an effort to help provide a safe, dignified house to a family in need near Ensenada, Mexico
(90 minutes south of the border). CrossPoint partners with a nonprofit organization called Hands of Mercy (HOM). HOM helps churches build loft houses and facilitates weekend and short-term, cross-cultural ministry opportunities. Children and adults in a family are encouraged to serve together and there are no age restrictions. Learn more about HOM at handsofmercy.com
What is involved?
Team members attend a team building/training meeting prior to the mission trip. The prebuild is then done on a Saturday, and the following weekend or shortly thereafter, the team travels to the designated location to deliver and erect the loft house.
What abilities does one need to have?
No expertise is needed. People will show you what to do. No need to speak Spanish. However, passports are required.
What do you provide the people who are to live in the house?
Besides the actual house, the family is given a care package, Bible and prayer at the completion of the mission. The care package includes basic food items such as rice and beans and other staples. We provide sleeping bags and blankets made by our church's quilting group. We also provide a stove and propane tank. And every family receives an audio Bible.
How do I sign up? How much does it cost?
Cost is $100 per person with a maximum of $300 per person payable when you register. Additional donations can be made to help cover the cost of supplies. You can also simply help with the pre-build if you are not able to go to Mexico for the trip.
Is it safe?
Yes, it is safe. Although we can't guarantee safety, we take precautions such as traveling in groups, avoiding troublesome areas, and not traveling in the late evening in Mexico.
Where can one get answers to more questions?
The team members at the information table will be able to answer your questions or you can contact one of the team leaders. Pray for God’s calling in being part of this team!
How can one pray for this ministry and mission trip?
Pray for safety at the border and while traveling and working. Pray that the family that receives the home would understand this comes from God's love for them.
