Praise the Lord! We completed the S. Oregon Makeover project at The Pregnancy Center's new space at The Women's Gospel Mission and welcomed home our first two Mexico mission trip teams - who built a total of 10 houses in Baja! Our next Mexico team is scheduled to leave on 7/24/22 so please be praying for them. We could still use funds to cover the cost of both of these project so, if you are so include, click here to help: S.OR Makeover & Mexico House Builds. Finally, we announced a new partnership with Pacific Bible College, and sent out a market survey for a new 1-year Gap Year certificate worth up to 33 college credits, in hopes of giving students the opportunity to experience short terms missions!

At the end of July, we were given the opportunity to help distribute and install portable air conditioners to S.

We are happy to announce this Heat Relief project extended into August and we continued to deliver and install units in Cave Junction, Central Point, Glide, Grants Pass, Medford, Talent, and White City, Oregon etc. ! We also sent out our last Mexico team, who went to Baja to build our last set of houses for the Summer, and Alaska team, who went to Unalakleet to serve individuals and families in need.
