Casas por Cristo (Houses because of Christ) is a mission organization, founded in 1993, that builds homes for families in need in México, the Dominican Republic, and Guatemala. In four days, volunteer teams transform an empty lot into a complete home. Families served receive a renewed trust in God’s love and faithfulness as volunteers are awakened to the realities of poverty and the importance of humanitarianism and service in the name of Christ.

Day 6 | Teams
Our teams make everything that we do here at Casas por Cristo possible. Without teams, the doorway that is opened for pastors to minister to families in their community is taken away. In the past three years we have had a huge drop in the number of teams coming to build homes. We have gone from building almost 400 homes a year to 150 this year. With the decline in the number of homes being built, the number of families that are waiting and in need is only growing. Our waiting list has gone from six months to up to three years. Families' prayers daily are for the homes that they are waiting to receive and for the teams that would come and build them.
We want to show the families that are waiting that our God is big. We want them to see with our actions that we trust in His provision for our own lives. We are praying for teams to return that have built with us in the past. We are praying for new teams to hear about our ministry and jump on board. Families are waiting. We are waiting. Will you step out in faith and join us?
