Where: Mexico!
When: 7th – 17th April
Who: Year 10 lads
Urban Saints Guildford offers it’s young people the opportunity to travel overseas to demonstrate God’s power and love for the poor, being and bringing the good news of Jesus, and inspiring them to live a life of justice and generosity.
Alongside our partners, Amor, we work together to build houses which fit the needs of the family who will be living there. It’s a simple design so even people with no experience in house building can complete it. The sites and recipients of the houses are chosen by a board of local pastors. We are excited to once again take a large team of lads from Yr 10 to Mexico to build a house for a family in need.
Our young people have to raise the funds to cover the cost of the trip and they have been busy raising money in a variety of ways, such as leaf clearing from neighbours gardens and busking. The team also plan to complete the Thames Bridges Trek, walking 16 miles through London, crossing 16 bridges. Can you help support them?
