Tool Time


Our mission trip to Mexico is approaching fast! We have four weeks until our team will be building a home for a family in Mexico. We’ve come along way since our first staff meeting where the mission trip was dreamed into reality. Over the past five months we’ve been preparing our team to enter another culture, lovingly holding the students and staff to the expectations to go on the trip, and faithfully raising funds. So many people have helped us along the road leading up to Mexico and now we’re in the stages of gearing up for the trip, literally. One of the unique aspects, and I think one of the coolest, about this trip is unlike most houses here in the US, the house we build in Mexico will be done without power tools. We’ll be mixing our own cement, our best friends will be our hammers, and I saw on our list we need a sand sifter (that should be fun). Given this, we have to bring our own tools to Mexico. If you know of anyone or you yourself would like to help, we are starting to collect the tools necessary to build the house. Attached in the following link is our building manual and on page 26 is the tool inventory list. If you have a tool on that list and are able to part ways with it for a week it will be put to good use with the Tacoma Rescue Mission Youth program in Mexico. Thank you so much for your help and please continue to pray for everyone involved in the mission trip. http://mumbles.amorhq.net/build/single.pdf
