HOME 4,000

This summer we're having a celebration and you're all invited!! On May 14th we are building Home 4,000!

We are celebrating this milestone by partnering with our Mexican and American staff and our pastors committee in Juárez to build our 4,000th home for the Perez family. At the end of the week we will give them keys to the home that they have been waiting for, for four years! We'll commemorate it all with a celebration at a local church in Juárez!

So how can you be involved?? 
The week of May 14th we are going to be blogging, tweeting and facebooking all of the festivities.  We want you to be part of this and share what God is doing with your friends and family.

However, that's just the beginning.

Sandra Gutierrez, Alfredo Perez and their six kids have been waiting for a home since April 2008!  Our dream is to build a three room home for this family of eight.  We are asking you to help us raise the funds necessary to make this dream come true.  We want this home to be entirely funded and built by those that believe in Casas por Cristo - our staff, pastors, supporters and volunteers.

This home is being built because you all have supported this ministry and the work we have done over the years.  We want Home 4,000 to be a catalyst for even more by using this to kick off an entire summer of building!

We need to raise $7,000 to build Home 4,000 for the Perez family, but we also want to bless as many other families as we can with homes this summer. We will be training a new group of interns during the building of Home 4,000.  Our goal is to raise enough money fueled by Home 4,000 for our interns to build the rest of the summer.

There are families that have been waiting for over four years for homes. This summer we want to answer their prayers. We would LOVE to bless 10 new families with homes over the summer months.

Will you become part of this dream with us?!
Will you join us, spread the word and invite your friends and family to help us build more homes?!

We're calling this campaign Home 4,000 and you can give through our website or through our campaign page on Facebook!

For every $25 given we will send you our Home 4,000 t-shirt.  Or, you can help us celebrate the city where this all began by giving $50 and we'll send you our Home 4,000 t-shirt, and our brand new Amor por Juarez shirt and bracelet!

Join us and help us make this a summer we'll never forget!!

Spring Break 2012

5 weeks, 29 teams, 40 homes, 14 staff, 
40 Mexican/Guatemalan pastors, over 600 volunteers

Spring Break 2012 was a whirlwind and a marathon.

God was glorified.  Homes were built.  The media was wrong.

Hundreds of volunteers stepped out on faith and crossed borders to proclaim the name of Christ and to love with their whole lives.

40 families woke up in homes this morning surrounded by the provision and love of answered prayers.

As we return back to our routines and you get back into full swing at home, we want to remind you that this is not the end, but rather just the beginning.

You may not physically be building a home, but your trip is not through.  Each of you have a story to tell; a story that the whole world needs to hear.  Whether it was a moment with a family, a team member, or something that God taught you during your time building, you have seen God's glory in places that others refuse to go.  You have lived moments that cross every faith, lifestyle and cultural border. The world is listening. Proclaim what Christ has done.

The homes standing in México and Guatemala are a testimony for the families to share with every person that asks.  What will you bring back to the States with you?  How will you share your story?  We are called to proclaim the great work that He has done.  Don't allow your experience to stay in another country.  Bring it home and allow it to change the world around you.

*Did you write a blog, make a slideshow, share your experience at your church or campus ministry?  We want to help you spread the word and share it too!*

We were inspired by 11yr old Hayden Ward who wrote a book about his trip to México and shared it with his school!!

YOUR Spring Break

It's still Spring Break for us here at Casas!  This is our final week of our "spring break" building season and homes are still going up in Guatemala, Acuna and Juarez!  We're praising God for all of the work that He's done.  Over the past month hundreds of you have partnered with us and built a home.  For each person that built there is a unique and different story. We can't even imagine all the ways God has been working through each person's life. As this season comes to a close, now we want to hear about the work that God has done!

We believe that each of you has a story to tell and there is so much value in that.  Just because you have returned home doesn't mean your trip is over. In fact, in a lot of ways, this is where it begins! You have a story to share with the world around you and we want to know it. What did you see? How did you feel?  Who did God put along your path as you gave a week of your life to build a home for a family in need?

We want to see your pictures, post your videos, read your blogs and broadcast them for the rest of our supporters to hear and see the work that God is doing! Shoot us an e-mail with your stories to bgirle@casasporcristo.org or post your pics and videos to our Facebook page! Let those around you see all that God has done!
