Homes of Hope - Defender Build, Sept '09

Here are a few videos of one of our HOMES OF HOPE house builds. I was the translator and host for a great team, the company Defender based out of the midwest sent down a ton of their employees for the weekend. They worked hard and were able to build 4 houses in just 2 days, it was amazing!

We built this house for a single mom, Teresa, and her 4 children: Kevin, Xochitl, Nitzya and Alan. All of this kids attend our Walking Circle ministry in the colonia and it brought so much joy to my heart to know that they would soon have a nice and safe place to live in.

This video shows where they were living before we built them a house. I found out after I made this video that the man with the family wasn't the dad, but a neighbor who had moved out and was loaning the family his house to live in while they waited (5 months) to receive their Homes of Hope house.

I hope you'll take some time to watch these short videos and see what it's like to be a part of our Homes of Hope ministry in Tijuana, Mexico.
