Cabo, Mexico - Completed
LOCATION: Cabo
DATES: February 2022
CONTACT: DONNIE DURANT AT DDURANT@RECEIVABLE-SOLUTIONS.com
The Cabo Sun Lucas mission provides construction assistance for a Christian dormitory living space that will house approximately 20 men. Many of the men have been involved in drug or alcohol abuse and now have broken or nonexistent families. Currently, the men live in a camp type environment, and CUMC missions along with other churches are trying to upgrade their living conditions. During the February 2022 mission trip, the walls and columns of the new dormitory were finished. The 2023 project will consist of pouring concrete to provide a solid floor for the men and other potential needs. 2 more visits before the dormitory will be complete! If you have a servant’s heart with experience in construction and the ability to share Christ for the first time to some of the men… this is the mission trip for you!
